Green lable regulations confuse the public. Corona cabinet ministers confirmed in a telephone poll on Sunday evening that the "purple lable" applied to restaurants operating with open spaces would not include an occupancy limit.

Starting at midnight, the green mark will also be removed from attractions in an open space and a purple mark will be applied to them. The green note was also removed from visiting schools in capsules in museums and lending books in
