Warning on the possibility of creating closed areas

Next week, a decision is expected on domestic flights. At the same time, until June 15, the ban on leaving and entering the country and opening borders was extended.
As for international flights, then for their restoration mutual recognition of coronavirus testing documents is required.
Democratic values amid a pandemic

Lethal cases are at least gradually increasing.
