The Government of the Republic of Serbia has invited employers in the field of construction (erection of tall buildings and civil engineering) to continue working at full capacity from today onwards.

All employers are required to provide workers with the protective equipment (masks, gloves and disinfectants), while work must be carried out with keeping the required distance.

Employers are required to develop a special plan of emergency measures, while employees are required to comply with it.

Those which are still unable to resume their operation are the facilities whose work implies the gathering of a large number of people, such as shops providing various services that are located in shopping malls.
