Macedonian Health Minister Filipche: The weddings will be allowed, but the guests will have to be two meters apart

-

The Committee for Infectuous Diseases has already prepared protocols for maintaining different courses, lectures in closed spaces, for public transportation and also, the protocols for the work of restaurants are underway. Apart from that, several protocols are also underway for schools and kindergartens, informs the Health Minister Venko Filipche.

-These protocols aren’t finalized and are still prepared. All protocols will be shared with the economic chambers. We received many questions about weddings because many people have scheduled their weddings so certain criteria will be set like how to set the tables, how to keep a distance. This is being discussed with the economic chambers and we shall provide directions how the economic operators should behave. There is an enormous pressure from social and economic aspects. All countries are doing the same and are opening everything gradually and in an appropriate way – said the minister.

Filipche informed that the measures are being relaxed but it is too early to be thinking about complete annulment of the curfew.

-One of these days I want to organize a joint press conference with epidemologists, where we shall present the curve’s trending, what are the expectations, the numbers. We shall analyze the data, what the situation is divided to regions. We will be waiting fro several more days to see what the situation will be with the newly infected. The health system wasn’t overburdened, we had a linear number of cases. If each citizen strives, we shall keep this trend and we shall return life to normalcy – said Filipche.
