Health minister: no plans for lockdown at present

Health Minister Roman Prymula said that at the present time the government has no plans for a lockdown such as are being effected in Israel or Madrid, but warned that if people fail to respect the restrictive measures announced, the government would have to tighten the reins, in order to curb the spread of the epidemic.

He said the measures would be revised in ten days, depending on the epidemiological situation.

The health minister is to present a plan outlining different scenarios and the different measures linked to them on Friday.
