The official of the Ministry of Emergency Situations said that the issues such as protection of social distance under the quarantine requirements by local authorities on the beach areas and the use of disinfectants already exist on many beaches.

According to the decision of the Task Force under the Cabinet of Ministers, the beaches will reopen from June 10.
