“Restrictions can’t be completely removed, we need laws that will allow us to control the situation,” Makunts said.
Also Friday, the government submitted a proposal to the National Assembly, which seeks to impose a six-month quarantine once the state of emergency is over. The proposal was approved in the first reading.
