Only essential shops are open, but later, I realised that a few home and general merchandise stores were open and were implementing the disinfection and 1.5-meter social distancing.
Then one weekend it got so busy in the parks and lakes, partially due to good weather, that the government sent an SMS-alert nationwide reminding everyone to adhere to the 1.5-meter social distancing and to stay at home if not feeling well. This was followed the next day by a press conference pleading people to comply and to stay at home if possible. New rules were added such as no more than 2 people congregating and stiff measures in the form of fines were implemented.
