Furthermore, the HCRRUN informs the public that the compensation operations will be conducted in strict compliance with COVID-19 preventive measures, namely:

Wearing a face mask is mandatory to access the compensation sites;
Handwashing facilities will be installed at all entrances to the compensation sites;
Temperature checks are mandatory for all individuals accessing the compensation sites;
Victims scheduled to receive compensation will be received in groups of 15 and seated at appropriate distances in accordance with social distancing measures;
