Jeton Sinani is an owner of a bar in the Old Bazaar of Skopje and he has been a successful business owner for years now and has never experienced higher losses than in the past two years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the second time we\u2019ll have to shut down. That is why I believe that our losses will be great because we at least thought we\u2019d be able to level out by working this month, something that is now impossible. However, the lockdown might be a good thing, if bars and restaurants are the problem of the higher number of infections we are experiencing. The next couple of weeks will confirm this if there\u2019s a difference in the number of new infections,\u201d said Jeton Sinani.<\/p>\n<p>The business sector has been asking the North Macedonian government for a long time now to be more lenient with the restrictive measures and curfew hours, as well as to provide certain economic relief packages that would help them with their financial recovery.<\/p>\n<p>Starting from today, the curfew hours will begin 2 hours earlier than before. Total limitation of circulation will start at 20:00 p.m. until 05:00 in the morning, but citizens that have a permit because of work will be allowed out. From 22:00 until 23:00 pet owners will be allowed to walk their pets but no more than 100 meters from their place of residence.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today marked the last sip of coffee for citizens of North Macedonia as for the next two weeks, there will be a total lockdown of all bars and restaurants because of soaring numbers of COVID-19 infections in the country.
