    Kazakhstan reintroduces mandatory use of masks in public spaces

    Kazakhstan reintroduces mandatory use of masks in public spaces

    Kazakhstan has reintroduced the mandatory use of masks to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases. The directive, issued by Chief State Sanitary Doctor Aizhan Esmagambetova, aims to curb the spread of airborne illnesses, including measles and COVID-19, across the nation.

    Key Measures:

    1. Medical Masks in Healthcare Settings:

      • Healthcare organizations, including hospitals and clinics, are now required to ensure that both staff and visitors wear medical masks. Additionally, the availability of antiseptics will be prioritized to maintain hygiene standards.
    2. Public Awareness Campaign:

      • The population will receive targeted information on preventive measures against coronavirus infection (COVID-19), influenza, and acute respiratory viral infections (ARVI). This educational effort aims to empower citizens with knowledge to protect themselves and others.

    Recommendations for Crowded Places:

    • Airports, railway stations, bus terminals, markets, shopping malls, theaters, cinemas, and public service centers are identified as high-risk areas.
    • Local executive bodies, central government agencies, individuals, and legal entities are strongly advised to recommend the use of medical or fabric masks in these crowded spaces.
    • All forms of transport, including public transport, air travel, and rail services, fall under this recommendation.

    Context and Background:

    • In January 2024, measles cases escalated rapidly in Kazakhstan, prompting health authorities to take swift action.
    • The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends a comprehensive approach, including isolation of confirmed measles patients, daily medical observation of contacts, and vaccination of contact persons under 30 years old.
    • The reintroduction of mandatory mask-wearing aligns with global efforts to mitigate the impact of infectious diseases and underscores Kazakhstan’s commitment to public health.
