According to the amendment approved on June 25, only 50 percent of total number of employees are allowed to work in the areas approved by the Cabinet of Ministers.

The State Agency for Provision of Services to Citizens and Social Innovations issued a warning that if the number of introduced permits exceeds the established limit, they will be automatically canceled.

By means of the system, to date some of the permits that do not comply with the decree have already been canceled on the portal.
