Citizens to be fined for not wearing masks in closed public spaces and transport from June 15

Citizens will be fined for not wearing masks in closed public spaces, public transport and taxis from June 15.

As Anri Okhanashvili, Chairman of the Legal Affairs Committee, explained to InterPressNews, the amendment to the Code of Administrative Offences has already been legally enacted, but the specific rules for wearing a mask must be determined by the government.

According to him, the document prepared by the government will be published on June 15, and therefore, citizens will be sanctioned for violating the rules from that day.

The Parliament adopted the law about mask-wearing rule by 76 votes yesterday.
