Shortly before the holiday, many restrictions have been lifted in Azerbaijan due to the coronavirus pandemic. Despite the mandatory Covid passport and the mask regime in enclosed spaces and transport, there are no restrictive measures left in the country.
But the unusually cold weather and frequent rains do not allow the residents of Baku to enjoy the Novruz holiday to the fullest. The days from 19 – 27 March have been declared non-working throughout Azerbaijan.
