In case of absolute necessity modifications to and derogations from the normal procedures might be required.

Other State constitutional bodies shall, within the system of checks and balances determined by the democratic system of our State and by protecting the basic principles of the Constitution, implement their competence and procedures so as to ensure the emergency situation management.
7. In order to ensure uniform, systemic, and clear practical operation of all the involved authorities in the State during this emergency situation, the Cabinet shall establish system for the operational management of the emergency situation.

Every inhabitant is also invited to follow any recommendations made by State authorities and public officials for managing the emergency situation and, as far as possible, to take care of themselves, their relatives, and the common good of the society, to participate responsibly and to promote the management of the emergency situation.
