The Council of Ministers has given a positive opinion on the draft bill on special arrangements to keep businesses running during the COVID-19 epidemic, also known as the Covid verification bill.
The Act is intended to give employers additional powers relating to the exercise of effective control over the risk of COVID-19 in a workplace.

The Ministry of Health has confirmed that the Covid verification will also apply when it comes to enforcing current restrictions on the number of people allowed in premises.
The solutions of the Covid verification bill are to ensure safe working conditions.
