The quantity of prescriptions and dispensing of medicinal products has been temporarily decreased.
Medicinal products that cure chronical illnesses will be prescribed only up to 2 months. A pharmacy can dispense a medicinal product only under 1 prescription and for up to 2 months. Over the counter drugs can be purchased up to 2 packets per 1 drug.
Commuting back and forth between the mainland and islands is prohibited.
According to their own wish and to protect the islands’ inhabitants from the spreading of coronavirus, restrictions for commuting to Hiiumaa, Saaremaa, Muhumaa, Vormsi, Kihnu and Ruhnu have been established.
The sorting of potentially infected waste is prohibited.
People who have contracted the virus, or suspect that they may have done so, need to collect and put all of their waste into a plastic bag, tie it up securely and throw it away into a mixed waste container. As waste is in direct contact with people, it has to be thought of as being potentially infectious.
