From Thursday everyone with a mask everywhere, otherwise the fines will be applied in real time with OSHE.
The new rules were presented by Prime Minister Edi Rama at a press conference with Health Minister Ogerta Manastirliu.
According to the Prime Minister, these measures are aimed at stopping a second quarantine that would be 'like a goat to the butcher' for the Albanian economy.
Edi Rama: “From next week, mandatory masks everywhere, except the house and the restaurant or bar where you are sitting at the table. Mandatory mask in any environment, any street, public space. The punitive measure will be applied to everyone in the bill of lights so that there is no illusion that any individual can avoid the fine. Mask everywhere. On the bus, in the car, on the street. "
"The situation in the country is far from being a situation that we can stay without worrying. Together we must prevent a second general quarantine."
The state and municipal police will check you.
Edi Rama: The state police and the municipal police will monitor the territory and there will be zero tolerance. On the bus, in the square, in the park, on the street.
If for businesses fines will be imposed in the traditional way, for individuals fines in the lights bill. We cannot risk so much for the sake of some who are in the majority.
We do not know the impact of seasonal flu with covidine. We will prepare for the worst. We will fight not to close Albania.
The mask will be held inside and out.
Edi Rama: Better a mask today than closing the shop tomorrow better a mask today than closing the school tomorrow. I will wear the mask outside, inside is not discussed.
As you can see, this is a general trend that we cannot avoid. I have seen a number of places that have turned to limited service schedules at closing bars at 8-9pm. "I do not want to go to these measures to spend the winter without these measures."
