"Wearing masks in closed areas, with special instructions, can be necessary as long time as there is need to prevent the spread of the virus, and I do not rule out that it will be one or two years.
Therefore as I have repeatedly stated, we must be ready for a long struggle. That doesn't mean one has to wear mask the way you want to. There are rules for wearing masks, and we have to shape that culture in ourselves the way we brush our teeth every morning or evening”, the minister told a news conference today.
