Under the growing threat of Covid-19 viral infections, especially with the introduction of new mutated
variants of the virus, a requirement of vigilance forced the Government’s hands to adopt further measures
for restraining the spreading rate of this contagion at an acceptable minimum. The Presidential Cabinet
subsequently gathered in a meeting on 13 April 2021, has passed some bills to address the issue, eventually
calling for a partial nationwide lock-down for two weeks from the 14th Wednesday of April 2021.
