There are over 21,000 active cases in Northern Macedonia. 1,470 people were healed on Tuesday.
Since the outbreak of the pandemic, nearly 260,000 people have been diagnosed with COVID-19.
On the recommendation of the Commission for Infectious Diseases, the Crisis Staff has proposed to the Government to shorten the isolation period for infected persons from 10 to 7 days.
The Infectious Diseases Commission proposal is given because the Omicron variant of the coronavirus is not considered as high risk as the previous variants of the virus.
Other measures have not been proposed, as those in force are considered sufficient to combat the coronavirus pandemic.
Northern Macedonia does not have curfews, just as there is no ban on the operation of gastronomy facilities. Wearing a mask is mandatory only indoors. On February 1, teaching in primary and secondary education will begin with physical presence.
Meanwhile, on Tuesday, reactions continued regarding the decision of the Government of Kosovo, to enter its territory with three doses of vaccines or two doses and PCR test.
The Chamber of Commerce of North-West of Northern Macedonia, through a written reaction, considered this decision harmful for businesses, as it said, hinders the movement of workers in their jobs in Kosovo, but also for the economy in general .
“Obstacles to the free movement of people, goods and services do not correspond to the economic logic in this period. We express our understanding on the epidemiological situation, but we call on the Government of the Republic of Kosovo to reconsider this decision and not to impede the free movement of citizens as this will have consequences in all sectors of the economy “, said in the reaction of the Chamber of Commerce North-West of Northern Macedonia./REL/
