Government unanimously approves new movement-restricting measures

The government has unanimously approved the emergency regulations announced last night, making restrictions on movements legally binding, the Prime Minister’s Office says in a statement.

Ministers unanimously approved the measures during a cabinet meeting held by phone, the statement says.

It adds that the measures are in effect for seven days, and that the Health Ministry will publish detailed instructions for business activity.

It also says that the right to demonstrate will be preserved, as long as people adhere to the guidelines requiring maintaining a distance of two meters from one another and refraining from gatherings of more than 10 people in one place.
