Schools, malls, restaurants and hotels will be closed and supermarkets and pharmacies will remain open. Public administration will operate with fewer stationary people. Offices and private companies will be closed to clients.

Indoor meetings will be limited to 10 people. Outside, a maximum of 20 people can meet in one place. We know that these measures will require a high price from us.
