As announced by the Minister, a series of amendments will be submitted to the Government tomorrow in relation to the amendment or the establishment of quarantine conditions.
“One proposal refers to the restriction of gatherings. Currently, no more than 5 people, except family members, can meet in one place in public places. It is proposed to reduce that number to 2 people. And a distance of at minus 2 meters between these groups of people.
This proposal still ties in with visible and persistent trends as the holiday season approaches and various occasions for larger groups of people to gather. We want to encourage cities to act responsibly and communicate responsibly when planning Christmas tree lighting ceremonies or other events, so that it doesn’t happen like in some cities, when large numbers of people gathered to watch the lighting of the Christmas tree, ”said the Acting Minister of Health.
Warned of the third wave
He also drew attention to the behavior of the neighbors on the occasion of the upcoming holidays.
“And on my social network account, I shared people’s comments after a post about commissioned farms, where people make it clear that we are celebrating and celebrating and no government will specify it. That is, if it is really the case, it cannot be ruled out that after about 2 weeks after the Christmas holidays, we have a third wave instead of a second, which can become uncontrollable phenomena. Medical institutions are already living in very stressful conditions, so I urge you to think hard and not organize such celebrations – said A. Veryga.
Recommendation not to offer shares
It will also be recommended that all stores, supermarkets and other public points of sale do not use short-term sales promotions, that is, sales, discount hours, tastings, which increase the flow of customers in a certain time and in a certain place .
No restrictions apply to online trading.
According to the minister, a similar restrictive measure was applied during the first quarantine.
The draft resolution also proposes to ban trade in temporary locations.
“It is proposed to prohibit all stores, supermarkets and service points from selling in temporary points of sale (except food, fireworks and commercial islands), that is, when they are not in physically segregated stores but, for example, in supermarket premises common areas, corridors and the like “. , – to be specified by the Ministry.
The presidency proposes stricter restrictions
The quarantine is working, but not enough, experts say, proposing stricter restrictions in the areas of highest risk in workplaces, educational institutions and personal health care institutions.
