So it was safe prior to the 15th? What a joke.

They wanted to make sure that everybody could go to Makro, Tesco and 7/11 prior to the lockdown.

Now it is locked down with aluminium plates, last few days it was also locked down, just without those plates. Nobody to be seen there, and there are always people hanging around there.

Is there still someone remaining at the village?

 

They probably fled, been aware that lockdown was close.
