The Asharq Al-Awsat reported, citing Turkish Health Minister Fahrettin Koca, Turkey eased the majority of coronavirus-related restrictions on Wednesday, almost two years after the first case was identified in the country.

In a televised speech, Koca said wearing masks will not be mandatory outdoors or indoors when there is enough ventilation.

The report said that a contact tracing app code will no longer be asked when entering places like shopping malls or public institutions.

Koca said that the fight against the disease will be at an individual level rather than society-wide, adding that people without symptoms will not be tested.
