Rajasthan Makes Masks Mandatory In Public, First State To Do So

The Rajasthan assembly on Monday passed a bill making it mandatory for people to wear face masks in both private or public means of transport and while attending any social or political events.

The assembly provided for the new anti-COVID measure by amending the Rajasthan Epidemic Act. The new clause proposes to prohibit the movement of any person in public without properly covering his mouth and nose with a face mask.
