The General Inspectorate for Emergencies said the response teams worked on roads in Ungheni, Causeni and Orhei districts and in ATU Gagauzia. There are no blocked national roads and no disconnections from the power supply.

In Chisinau, the public transport runs according to the ordinary program. A number of 300 trolleybuses and 97 buses were on routes in the morning.

The Border Police said the hovercraft border crossing points Soroca-Tsekinovka and Cosauti-Iampoli remain closed owing to the ice bridges that formed on the Nistru. Travellers can use posts located in the vicinity, such as Otaci-Moghileov-Podolsk.
