The Health Ministry has withdrawn its decision to relax  wearing masks outdoors and reversed its earlier decision with immediate  effect and announced that wearing masks outdoors has been made mandatory once again.  

The fresh decision has been taken considering the large public gathering currently take place across the country.   
As per the new health ministry regulation, masks should be  worn outdoors as done before and this directive will come to immediate  effect from yesterday (21).  

However, other measures stipulated in the Press Release, dated April 18, will continue to be in force.
