Leader of the "DNR" Denis Pushilin allowed turning off housing and utility services because of the debts. This was said in his next "decree". His previous "decree" on the introduction of quarantine restrictions in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic said that under the conditions of a "high alert mode" (in fact, quarantine - OstroV), the residents would not be disconnected from housing services for the late payment. The "DNR" leader canceled the compulsory collection of debts at that time. The new "decree" eases quarantine measures, therefore "the right to terminate the provision of housing and utility services and communication services in the presence of arrears for their payment is renewed, as well as the right to enforce collection of such debts in the case and in the manner prescribed by law". In addition, Pushilin lifted the ban on "conducting inspections of business entities", which was also in force earlier.
Leader of the "DNR" Denis Pushilin canceled distance learning and ordered to ensure the classroom-based educational process from September 1. This was said in his "decree". Thus, the "DNR" leader has eased the quarantine measures he had previously introduced, according to which, all educational institutions operating in the occupied territory have been transferred to distance learning since March 2020 in the face of the COVID-19 epidemic.
The "DNR" occupiers recognized 42 new cases of COVID-19 coronavirus infection over the past day. This was said the report of the so-called "Ministry of Health".
