According to him, the main efforts of police officers will be aimed at protecting "the buildings in which worship services will be held, as well as places of mass stay of citizens".

Seredinsky also highlighted that the use of fireworks and firecrackers is prohibited in the country.

In addition, the police noted that law enforcers will detain violators for breaking the curfew and bring them to the district police departments.
