These new measures are defined as a "soft lockdown" (partial closing) and will be in effect in the next 30 days. Schools and kindergartens in the entire country will remain closed, it will be obligatory to wear a mask in all public spaces (both inside and outside). Walking and traveling will be restricted during the night (11 PM - 5 AM), stores will close at 9 PM.
