Ministry of Justice: You cannot be punished for not violating the order

It is also not forbidden to applaud. However, lengthy applause for no reason – “should interest particular specialists and they may wish to study their health condition, - said the Minister. 

However, if huge groups of people “simply stand” “or just applaud” in the square – it is different. In my opinion, their liberty ends here and the liberty of people returning home from work or wishing to have a rest or go for a walk with children in the square begins. Such a crowd will be in their way”, - informs the agency BelTA quoting the Minister.

In this case the police will ask the people who “are simply standing’ or “applauding” to do it in a different place. If they refuse to do it, policemen may detain such people for violating the order.
