According to him, restrictions should not be excessive, as this country needs functioning economy. The Prime Minister said that at a meeting with the National Headquarters before posting a message in social networks.

"I know that our health care system has been fighting heroically. That is why every day we have 1200-1300 recovered patients… Indeed, the big problem is with people with concomitant diseases and the elderly.
