The ban on the export of medical face masks and gloves and biocidal products (disinfectants) was extended for a month, until May15, when the state of emergency is to be lifted. A decision to this effect was taken by the Cabinet on April 10, IPN reports.
According to Deputy Prime Minister Sergiu Pușcuța, Minister of Finance, the decision was taken in a move to make sure Moldova’s internal needs are satisfied. “The decision was drafted following the spread of COVID-19 in the Republic of Moldova and the rise in the number of confirmed cases of infection,” he stated.
Depending on the developments, the Government can extend or shorten the given period, added the minister.
The first ban imposed on March 11 was to be lifted on April 15.
