Her government Latvia announced on Monday (18/10) that it will implement universal lockdown in the country, from October 21 to November 15, in one effort to reduce coronavirus cases, in an EU country with one of the lowest vaccination rates.
“Latvia is first in the world in terms of rates of coronavirus infections “, Health Minister Daniels Pavluts told reporters after an emergency cabinet meeting.
Shops, restaurants, schools and entertainment venues will be closed and only shops providing basic services will remain open. The lockdown will then be relaxed, but only for those vaccinated, the minister said.
