Also to avoid reigniting the infections, a ban for public gatherings of more than 5 people in public places is put in place, effective on the same dates to prevent traditional May 1 picnic gatherings.
Starting on May 1, wholesale and retail stores operating all types of products, services, hairdressing and beauty salons, as well as small craftsmen are allowed to work, while a ban on all facilities except food and hygiene stores remains in place in shopping malls.
