If Sweating, the Mask Should Be Changed: Health Ministry Spokesperson Responds to Doctor's Remarks

The spokesperson for the Ministry of Health of Armenia, Alina Nikoghosyan, made the following post on her Facebook page: "One of the 'known' doctors is sharing photos, claiming that the minister sweated three minutes after the press conference, and tries to attribute that to the presence of a mask. What actually happened? The minister walked for over 30 minutes and immediately sat down for the press conference. It is clearly visible in the shared photos that Arsen Torosyan hasn't even touched his mask."

Doctor Hayk Manasyan noted that by wiping the sweat and not changing his mask, he proved that wearing a mask is merely a performative act, not a public health measure.
