Government presents new restrictions in connection with coronavirus pandemic

On Wednesday, the government unveiled new restrictions related to the coronavirus pandemic. The most important of these are the closing of stores in shopping malls (stores with groceries, cosmetics, and medical products will remain open), a reduction in the number of buyers in other stores, and the closing of hotels. The latter will be available only to guests on a business trip.

The operation of sanatoriums was suspended and the stationary operation of eateries was banned (only to take away and deliver).

Only 50 percent of seats in public transport may be occupied (or 30 percent of all).

Schools were closed by November 29 (distance learning was also introduced in grades 1-3).

All cultural institutions were also closed – cinema theaters, museums, art galleries, community centers, music bonfires, etc.

People up to 16 years of age may travel between 8 am and 4 pm only under adult supervision.

The limitation of public gatherings to the max. 5 people and no meetings and events was confirmed.
