The Ministry is re-warning about the financial fines that private sector establishments are exposed to in case of violating the procedures.

The ministry also noted that this penalty is doubled if the violation is repeated. The facility is closed for 3 months, indicating that the penalty will be expanded again if the violation is repeated for the third time. The facility will be closed for 6 months, and the official representative will be referred to the Public Prosecution.
