As it has already announced, the government has decided to extend the daily time period when the citizens, like those involved in vital activities such as the food chain or pharmaceutical service, as well as one person per household will be allowed to leave house only for essential reasons and shopping.

So, starting today the daily time period for people to venture out before lockdown is extended by four hours, and they will be permitted on the roads between the hours of 5 a.m. until 5:30 p.m., while the permission for one person per family will be 90 minutes, from a previous 60-minute permission.

However the total lockdown will now last from Friday at 5:30 p.m. until Monday at 5 a.m. The latest government order as part of more stringent measures to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 enters into force on Monday.
