We call on every citizen to follow the official information on the security measures and individual restrictions imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic. 

It is important to remember that if citizens need immediate police assistance, they see or have information on possible infringements of law, including alleged breaches of the government's epidemiological security requirements, should call 110 instead of being written on social networks. . So the cops will be able to react more quickly to the information they have received!
