DECISION Tomorrow the government will decide on the weekend curfew. Consultations are being made, the recommendations have been respected until now, we are following the expert opinions. We will have to go with easing of the measures, but that means obeying the other non-restrictive measures. However, these measures are not being respected, face masks are not worn, distance is not maintained. If we want to have easing of the measures, then the recommendations must be respected.
This was stated today by the Minister of Information Society and Administration, Damjan Mancevski, at tonight’s guest appearance on TV 24, stressing that easing of the measures is directly proportional to compliance to the measures.
