At the same time, sanctions are proposed to be imposed for the repeated committing of the same contravention, worth up to 25,000 lei for private people and up to 75,000 lei – for legal entities.    

Another amendment proposed consists in the establishment of the obligation that the instructions of Moldova’s commission for emergency situations, as well as the decisions by the national extraordinary public health commission be published on the government’s official webpage.

To enter into force, the draft must be adopted by the parliament.
