The Armenian National Assembly voted unanimously today to pass amendments to the Administrative Offences Code that will see citizens fined AMD 10,000 (about $20) for absence of face masks outdoors.
The bill tabled by the government proposed to supplement Article 182.3 of the Code on Administrative Offenses with a new section, which stipulates that violation of the rules of the freedom of movement under the state of emergency shall result in a fine.
Citizens in Armenia are not required to wear masks outdoors but will have to keep one to wear indoors.
It was initially proposed to set a fine of 100-250 thousand AMD.
