Are drivers required to wear medical masks?

“If you are driving, you can take off the mask, but only if there is no passenger next to you. When you get out of your vehicle, you must wear a mask. Passengers, who take a taxi or other means of transport, must wear a mask all the time in order to prevent infection. If you travel with your family members or relatives, you must proceed from common sense,” he said.
