Raed Arafat, Secretary of State of the Ministry of the Interior, head of the Department of Emergency Situations, explained to Digi FM what the state of alert means and what measures are required as of Friday, May 15.
Even if today it is no longer necessary to complete the declaration on one’s responsibility to travel within the locality, “this does not mean not respecting the rules,” says Arafat.
“We emphasize that this does not mean not following the rules, the mask must become a mandatory social distancing. How we live with the virus is now important. We have to be very responsible. It is a slight downhill slope. We know that the situation is under But that does not guarantee that the number of cases cannot increase, “said the head of DSU.
Raed Arafat was also asked if there has been pressure in certain areas lately to relax some restrictive measures.
“Messages like this go everywhere. There are many people who do not understand or prioritize economic interest. The economy can be affected even without restrictive measures. At some point, you may wake up with your company that has 50 employees, of whom 30 are isolated or in the hospital. And again, the economic impact is very high. We ask people to be very careful. I understand very well that employers are coming who want us to relax them. If it was after them, I would start to tour the terraces. But this does not work, it is not possible. The impact can be even more devastating if we get out of control with the SARS-VOC-2 infection. “
The MIA Secretary of State also wanted to explain that the three-day legislative vacuum does not mean that the police will not sanction people if they break the rules and that relaxing the restrictions does not mean that we must go to the sea and the mountains. In addition, they accuse those who spread messages on social networks in favor of violating the restrictions, they just want chaos in society.
“Those who spread unverified information want to create confusion, create insecurity, reduce people’s trust in the authorities, create a bit of chaos.” Whoever puts that message, their intention is that the population does not follow the rules. That we are well, that we are not well, that the population must understand that they are interested in respecting the rules. Such messages on social media should be ignored. Whoever breaks the rules, the police will take action. Including well. I know it is a legislative matter. But there are solutions to take.
Let’s stay calm in the next two weeks, so as not to give too many explanations and interpretations that we can go to the sea for sightseeing. That is not the purpose. When we talk about a walk, it is about driving nearby, we walk, we go fishing, we go running. I did not open the roads to the sea and the mountains so that everyone could go. Let’s understand that relaxation measures are limited at this time. “
