My Appeal is Addressed to Everyone: Minister on Non-Wearing of Masks by Nikol Pashinyan and Arsen Torosyan at Rally

Yes, I have also participated in rallies and have always worn a mask, said Minister of Health Anahit Avanesyan in a conversation with journalists after the government meeting, addressing the question of whether it is possible that the rise in COVID infection numbers is due to the social irresponsibility of political leadership.

“I have always worn a mask and urge everyone to wear a mask,” the minister stated.

When asked if she had advised Nikol Pashinyan or Chief of Staff Arsen Torosyan to wear a mask at the gathering on March 1, the minister replied, “My appeal is addressed to everyone.”
