The Minister of Interior and Municipalities, Mohamed Fahmi, announced the details of reopening the country about a week ago.
In that statement, the minister stressed that amusement parks, indoor and outdoor playgrounds, beaches, the Corniche, public parks, theaters, cinemas, malls, casinos, and indoor sports halls (gyms), sports clubs, and stadiums, including the horse racing field, are to remain closed.

No prevention measures were even taken by the amusement park in Raouche, not even by the employees, according to LBCI.
