President Tayyip Erdogan has said that Turkey is ready to lift all measures against the coronavirus, adding that mask wearing will no longer be obligatory indoors, Reuters reports.

Speaking after the final meeting of the advisory science council, Erdogan said masks will still be mandated on public transport and in medical institutions until daily new cases drop below 1,000.

Turkey had previously lifted the requirement to wear masks outdoors and in indoor areas with good ventilation.
