The so-called weekend quarantine will not be introduced in Dnipro. The mayor of the city, Boris Filatov, wrote about this on Facebook.
“Dear businessmen, as the Prime Minister said today [Денис Шмыгаль]: “Mayors cannot cancel what they have not introduced.” And I’m not going to cancel anything. I don’t go to rallies, I don’t wave flags, I don’t make statements. I prefer to work. Ishachis like Papa Carlo, like all the previous five years. Also, I did not present this absolute nonsense. Which, by the way, is not found in any country in the world. It’s just that the municipal TBES commission got sick. No, not coronavirus. She is ill and does not have a quorum. They are tired. And they are not able to implement the decision of the Cabinet of Ministers, “he wrote.
Filatov urged businessmen to observe the mask regime and quarantine restrictions.
And I wish that all my compatriots spend more time outdoors, that they walk and enjoy the last days in good weather. And don’t forget to buy at least one sausage or a cup of coffee from the entrepreneurs, ”he added.
