On Monday, catering establishments will start working again, which were closed since November 7, 2020 after the introduction of a general quarantine. On Easter, they decided not to open the establishments so that people would not gather in large companies.

Initially, restaurants, cafes and taverns will be able to serve visitors only on open-air verandas; it is prohibited to receive guests in the premises. Employees must make a self-diagnosis test for COVID-19 without fail, there must be a distance determined by the authorities between the tables, everyone must comply with sanitary standards and hygiene measures.
