At the same time, the Commission maintains the mask mandate for all enclosed spaces, public transport, and public events, even if they are held outdoors. The one-meter rule will be required at all mass gatherings. Masks must cover both the mouth and the nose.

Hand disinfection and sanitation are mandatory, with the provision of biocidal products and preparations, in all public and private enterprises, institutions and organizations, including shopping malls, shops, HoReCa institutions and other establishments offering services to the public.
