The permission to reopen the cinemas was issued by the Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts yesterday, stressing the requirement for all the cinemas to ensure strict safety standards guided by the Ministry of Health.

The ministry, added the statement, has also assigned a working group to monitor the compliance with the safety measures in order to mitigate COVID-19 outbreak.
