"The state is strongly recommending people not to travel to risk areas. If a person has been in or out of a risk area, it is imperative that they monitor their health. People who have been asked to stay home as a precaution are not allowed to visit the city, and those who are infected with coronavirus must stick strictly to their home quarantine, " Kiik (Center) stressed.
