Raka: After easing measures, there was no inspection from responsible institutions

He has said the large number of infection cases came after the release of the measures was not strictly followed.

A considerable part of the people thought that with the release of the measures, the virus went and we're going back to normal life. At the same time, the release of the measures was not followed with strict inspection by the authorities, and the moment we had a challenge in July and August, and when people started to respect the measures, on the other hand there was authority inspection, we saw the results”, he said.

Raka has said it opposes the series closing, adding that if each segment does its share, the virus will be managed.

This is a reflection of what if each segment does its part the pandemic becomes manageable. We've been against multiple closures because we've had the virus in the community and we will have it. We've done half the marathon, and even in this challenge if everyone does their part, management will be easier. We will co-exist with the virus but we have to get used to the new reality”, he said.
