S. Skvernelis wrote on Facebook that he would propose to the Government to extend and strengthen the quarantine in the red municipalities, as well as to introduce a quarantine regime in the yellow ones.
“For at least three weeks. This regime, in my opinion, should be much stricter than the current restrictions. The practice of all European countries (and not only) shows one thing: whatever action has been taken, what strategies have not been followed, the same conclusion can still be reached: only quarantine or vaccination can stop infectious diseases . We still do not have the latter, the first option remains. If the results are satisfactory, an extension of the quarantine may not be necessary. It depends on the behavior of all of us ”, emphasized the Prime Minister.
