Chisinau, 27 October /MOLDPRES/ - Two thousand people with hearing deficiencies, including children, will receive masks with visor, specially adapted for them. The masks were purchased with EU’s support.

They will be distributed to children and adults, including teachers from education institutions where the people with hearing deficiencies study.
