LETA learned from the US embassy in Riga that the masks cost USD 15,000. The face masks will be distributed to less socially protected groups in order to ensure additional protection when visiting medical institutions.


In May this year the US embassy presented 3,660 liters of disinfectants to the Emergency Medical Service, and 22,500 pairs of non-sterile gloves and 1,000 liters of hand disinfectants to the Education and Science Ministry for organization of school exams.
