NOTICE FROM MANASTIRLIU

Dear citizens,

We are concluding the 12th week from the beginning of the Covid19 epidemic in our country.

After a few weeks of timely preventive measures, after all your efforts to implement them and the resistance of each of you, we have managed to limit the spread of infection. Although to date we have a stable course of the epidemic, it should not be forgotten that the reopening that began with phases two weeks ago requires discipline and a correct individual behavior that adapts to the new normality.

These last two weeks we have continued to work with the intensification of the epidemiological investigation. Cases of the last four days indicate new foci of infection, which are being followed. Analysis of the situation to date allows us to open up, but this situation will increasingly require:

Vigilance - Physical distance - Personal hygiene

If we implement measures, safety protocols at work, in our daily activity, we will be able to move forward with the reopening plan. If the epidemiological analysis and the criteria tell us that we will have to withdraw, we will have to raise the emergency brakes.

Based on the epidemiological assessment so far, in consultation with the Technical Committee, it has been decided to follow the plan approved in the reopening strategy and from June 1:

To allow the movement of citizens and vehicles throughout the territory, in all cities and counties of the country

To open the land borders, suspending the two-week quarantine, as a measure which has been followed by European countries. The two-week quarantine measure will remain in place in special cases by order of the health authorities according to the criteria set by the ECDC - European Center for Disease Control.

Beaches by approved areas will be designated with special authorizations by a Provisional Authority set up for this period and will administer permits for the placement of beach equipment through an online application and a special protocol to ensure distance maintenance. and hygienic-sanitary conditions on the beaches.
