According to the order of “mobile work”, a number of German police officers whose functional duties allow to serve in remote mode, you can not be present in the workplace.

Italy – the most affected country in Europe. What are the police doing there?
Yuri Zhdanov: Italy is using drones to monitor the situation during the quarantine. Permission for the use of drones will continue until April 30, when theoretically they lifted restrictions on travel to Italy. There are restrictions on the use of drones: they cannot be used near civilian airports, as well as the maximum allowable weight of the UAV – 25 pounds.

The government decree States that those who violate a quarantine regulation may be sentenced to three month prison term or possibly longer term for more serious violations.
Police in various Italian cities since the beginning of the quarantine declares rules by using megaphones telling everyone to stay home and to stay away from each other.

Persons who violate the quarantine in Spain can be fined up to 600 euros and sentenced to prison. A state of emergency will last for two weeks although may be extended for a longer period, if the government deems it necessary.

Approximately 100 000 police officers were mobilized. Established checkpoints throughout the country to ensure compliance with regulations.
These restrictions everywhere, or only in the largest and the leading European countries?
Yuri Zhdanov: Similar restrictions everywhere. Here, for example, Iceland. Icelandic police consists of 9 independent units located throughout the country, each of which is headed by the Commissioner of police. In structuretour of the police Department includes the national Commissioner of police. Under his control is the Department for civil protection and emergency situations. This unit, together with the Directorate of health defines the levels of emergency – all three levels. At the moment, declared a 3-level state of emergency. The Directorate of health advises the Ministry of health, which then makes provisions about restriction of movement, closure of public institutions and the exercise of these measures.

He is guided by the recommendations of its professional staff, epidemiologists. And that’s what matters – if necessary, the Icelandic police were forced forced to comply with these restrictions. Yet such coercive measures of the police were not required. A number of police officers themselves have been subjected to temporary quarantine upon receipt of the test results of the arrested persons or persons in contact with the police. At the moment, several police officers are on a two-week mandatory quarantine.
Iceland is a small country and in such situations people are doing things that require official authorities. In the same room can only accommodate 20 people at a distance of two meters from each other. Because of this, many businesses are closed. In supermarkets can still be at the same time 100 people with observance of rules about a two-meter distance from each other. The Icelandic government also invited former health care workers to register as reserve personnel. This also applies to a former police officer, a firefighter, professionals emergency assistance, etc.
Every day at 14.00 three people – the Superintendent of the national Commissioner of police, head of the Directorate of public health and epidemiologist holding a press conference. They inform the population about the situation and the measures taken, and the measures to be taken in the future. The Prime Minister and Cabinet Ministers are kept in the background and hold their press conference, during which the population is informed about the taken measures to support the economy and other related issues.
Well, Iceland is an island, everything is just limit – water everywhere. But what police say, in Greece, in not the richest country?
Yuri Zhdanov: And all the same. And they do this successfully. In Greece all shops or any other businesses remain closed, except pharmacies, supermarkets and similar stores. Supermarkets are open on Sundays from 7 to 22 hours. Restaurants and cafes too, but only for delivery or takeout.

Clearly, the European police at the height. And that in other countries?

For example, Iran has deployed teams consisting of law enforcement officers and volunteers, to check travelers are leaving major cities in 13 provinces, including the capital Tehran. The team checks the temperature of travelers and sent those who have a fever, at the quarantine center.
