At the start of the June 3 meeting of the Cabinet, Premier Chicu said that together with the lifting of the state of emergency, there were adopted a number of relaxation measures and a series of economic activities were allowed.

The bill is to be examined at the next meeting of the National Extraordinary Commission for Public Health. If the Market’s administration does not take steps to ensure the obeying of the rules until then, the Central Market will be closed.
