As from November 8, the holding of such private events as wedding parties, christening ceremonies, festive and commemoration meals is banned, as the National Extraordinary Public Health Commission decreed following the worsening of the pandemic situation, IPN reports.

Before November 8, the holding of private events was permitted with the involvement of at most 50 persons indoors and 100 outdoors, by ensuring an area of at least 2 square meters for each visitor/client and by obliging these to present the COVID-19 certificate. As from today, private events cannot be staged.

The Commission’s decision provides that beneficiaries will have access to social-medical, rehabilitation, recovery institutions and sanatoriums based on the result of a COVID-19 diagnostic test, regardless of the vaccination status (SARS-CoV-2 rapid antigen test valid for 48 hours or PCR test for COVID-19 valid for 72 hours).

Moldova by November 7 got 345,964 cases of infection. The death toll from COVID-19 rose to 8,099.
