In case of symptoms of respiratory infections or temperatures higher than 37,5 degrees it is strongly recommended to stay at home, call the doctor and reduce contacts with other people.
2. Which are valid reasons to leave one’s house? You can leave your house to go to work, for health reasons or in case of need/necessity. To prove any of these reasons you must fill in a self-certification; it can be filled during police controls. Further checks will be taken to test if the declaration is true.
