He gave assurances that all the necessary measures will be taken for the 'day after' so that all rules for the health of the citizens are strictly observed while he confirmed that the obligatory use of a mask while using public transport is being discussed with the health ministry.

"I am aware that there is great concern. That's why we need to be very careful about the next step, because we are slowly entering into a gradual recovery." He added that the ministry is working with experts to examine what protection measures passengers will need to take.

He reiterated that the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport has taken all appropriate measures so that there is no overcrowding on public transport, noting that all necessary disinfections are being carried out, while measures have been taken to protect workers, such as the entry of passengers by the back door, and a 50 pct reduction of passengers inside buses.
