You won't believe what Zemaj warns about this weekend for the citizens of Kosovo
The Minister of Health, Armend Zemaj, said that the new measures taken today are for the good of everyone, for the good of public health and to protect the country from a state of emergency.
"Today's measures are not a state lockdown, but controlled movement with strict measures, therefore, they do not mean a ban on the movement of citizens, where necessary."
"Aware of the widespread spread of the virus in our country, we are obliged to take the strongest possible measures against the virus.
"In addition to the Government's decision, we also have decisions on special measures in seven municipalities: Pristina, Fushë Kosova, Gjilan, Obiliq, Gjakova, Podujevo and Shtime. Every other municipality that enters the red zone of infection, according to the number of inhabitants (according to the map), will have the same measure!"
