Albanian government has decided to reopen a large number of businesses starting from today, while have been imposed strict security measures.

The resumption of business is expected to give vitality to the economy  after five weeks of closure, which has caused major economic damage.

This week, the quarantine regime for the weekends is also changing, where according to Prime Minister Rama, there will be no more total closures during Saturday and Sunday.

During weeks of isolation, a large number of fines were imposed on citizens and drivers, but Prime Minister Rama announced a few days ago that they will be pardoned.

For all businesses that will be opened, the Ministry of Health has imposed a strict safety protocol starting from the distance between employees and to ensuring cleanliness in the workplace.
