In the meantime, said Nikolic, the Institute of Public Health has twice imposed measures prohibiting YURA from operating for 14 days or having to adhere to restrictive measures according to which there should be no more than 50 workers per 5,000 square metres of factory premises, with disinfection and other protective measures prescribed.
