The government decision was announced, around 8 p.m. Berat told his two employees who were scheduled to work the night shift, “From tonight, we’re closing the café."

“We are working on plans for fiscal support in the immediate aftermath of the situation, so as to resuscitate the economy as soon as possible.”
