"We also used our industrial opportunities. In a short period of time, medical masks manufacturing enterprises began to operate. Two enterprises are now operating. Disinfectants are already produced in Azerbaijan. At the same time, Azerbaijan produces special clothes and overalls for doctors. Besides, we import medical masks from abroad, too, because demand is growing and the increase in demand is directly related to restrictive measures. We observe that citizens are increasingly using medical masks recently. I want to reiterate that this is inevitable in a closed environment. I use a medical mask in closed places, and everyone should use a medical mask in all closed and crowded places - in public transportation, in offices, in shopping malls. It is recommended to use a mask in the open air, if there is no close contact, one may not use the mask. However, everyone should use a mask in all closed places, keep a distance and pay attention to personal hygiene. These three factors should be taken into account - medical mask, a distance of 1.5-2 meters and disinfectants. Doctors unanimously confirm that these factors protect people. Therefore, I urge citizens to follow these very simple rules and know that the coronavirus has not disappeared", the President said.
