He said, "On Tuesday I will present an outline of hope. The beginning of a gradual, safe and responsible release that has the potential to keep the morbidity low in a way that the contagion chain amputation system will catch the infected. It is possible to do so provided we are not drawn to populism."
"Everyone sees the data of a certain decrease in morbidity. But whoever comes out with calls to open everything immediately - destroys the economy and the lives of the people, of those who have suffered enough. It is impossible to open and within a few weeks bring about further closure."
He further sharply attacked the Ministry of Finance and said: "We as a government must ensure that those business owners and people who have lost a lot, receive not only out-of-pocket expenses, but in real time full compensation. And I intend to fight for it. There can be no situation we demand restrictions and then self-employed and non-business "We received the required compensation. I will not let this situation continue. There are encouraging data. Everything else depends on each of us."
