New amendments, completions instructed by Moldova's National Extraordinary Public Health Commission enter into force as of today

Chisinau, 19 July /MOLDPRES/ - The National Extraordinary Public Health Commission (CNESP), at a meeting in late last week, maintains the measures of prevention and control of the COVID-19 infection, applicable nationally, instructed at a meeting from 29 April, by introducing new amendments and completions starting from 19 July. They refer to the crossing of the border, exceptions from self-isolation, holding of festive events, vaccination, etc.   

Under the CNESP decision from 17 July, the Health, Labour and Social Protection Ministry (MSMPS) will establish the list of countries with high or low epidemiological risk of transmission of COVID-19, classified in the red zone and green zone. The list will be published on the official webpages of MSMPS, Interior Ministry (MAI), Foreign Affairs and European Integration Ministry (MAEIE) and National Public Health Agency (ANSP).  

The list of countries meeting the red zone and green zone will be updated once in seven days on Fridays and will enter into force on Mondays of the next week. The criterion on the basis of which decision-makers establish the meeting by the countries/ areas of the high epidemiological risk (red zone) is the cumulative rate of incidence of new cases of infection with COVID-19 in the last 14 days related per 100,000 residents.       

„The classification of countries/areas with epidemiological risk, depending on the cumulated incidence in 14 days, will be made as follows: the green zone will comprise the countries/regions where the cumulate rate of incidence of new cases of infection with COVID-19 in the last 14 days, related to 100,000 residents, is lower or equal to 100; the red zone will comprise the countries/regions where the cumulate rate of incidence of new cases of infection with COVID-19 in the last 14 days, related to 100,000 residents, is higher than 100,’’ CNESP said.

The decisions of the National Extraordinary Public Health Commission are executory for the central and local public administration authorities, for private people and legal entities, no matter the activity sector and the legal form of organization. .
