According to the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), the average mask-wearing rate is 62%. In Israel, where 50% of the population has undergone a single immunization with Pfizer and a full, double course has been conducted by almost the entire population, 78% of the citizens wear masks. This data is almost identical in the United States. As for the countries of the region, the rate of wearing a mask in Armenia is lower compared to Georgia and is at 38%. 43% of the population in Georgia wears a mask, while in Azerbaijan, 78%, 85% of the population wears masks in Turkey.

As jandacva.ge writes, the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation measures this indicator with special aerial photography technology. In the last few weeks, this figure has been reduced to 43% in Georgia, which, according to experts, is low. During the coronavirus epidemic's peak period, this figure reached 75%, and then gradually came down.

According to the infectious disease specialists, if the population does not use this means of protection, selective restrictions will be put on the agenda again. This, according to economists, will cause the unemployment of tens of thousands of people.
