In terms of easing some measures, it is very important to strictly follow all the instructions of the health authorities, to respect the physical distance and to maintain personal hygiene. These measures should be respected maximally even within family circles, avoiding visits to relatives for any reason. If you have signs of COVID19 disease call the emergency number 127.
