Notes

The exception was an effort in early May when several government ministers attempted to coerce compliance with the shutdown by issuing fines. This was quickly and decisively opposed by Moldovans who appealed to the national Constitutional Court, which quickly struck down the fines in favor of “voluntary compliance”.
COVID-19 infections and deaths as reported by the Moldovan Health Ministry on 23 June 2020.
