In Latvia, during the New Year and Orthodox Christmas, the curfew will come into force: you will not be allowed to leave the house from 10 pm until 5 pm.
A.Dulkys, who received several questions from a journalist at a remote press conference on Wednesday after the government meeting, forgot one of them, about the curfew.
When asked to repeat it, the minister joked:
“As you can see, my subconscious doesn’t even want to accept the words ‘curfew’.
The Health Minister explained that he wanted to continue constantly. He said that a number of measures had been taken to control the spread of COVID-19.
“As we have consulted with data analysts, experts, we really want to wait at least until the Magi when those statistics start to tell us about exactly the impact that we have had from the current measures. Because so far the statistics, as you can see, both for some IT problems and for the human factor, and simply because of our behavior, as we were 2-3 weeks ago, now they are still like that, ”said A. Dulkys.
