@LilyMop - what you mention is a real problem. With only two permits you have to be careful about how you use them. At one point is was five, but they didn't get the desired mobility reduction so they took it down to two. One day we went to the store and then forgot that we needed to get something at the pharmacy too. Fortunately, we still had time on the permit when we remembered, so we were able to go out quickly to the pharmacy.


Now they are going to require this "one password", a password you can use to get into different government websites to log into the permit site. I have one, I would have thought most people do, but I guess not. There are lines at the civil registry of people trying to set up the password. Apparently, some people can request it online but those with older ID cards can't for some reason can't. So, it's creating all this crowding together of people. Add that to the people in line at the pension plan offices to request 10% of their savings (a measure by the government to help people deal with the economic effects of the pandemic) and people in line at the tax service to get help with a direct government assistance payment, and we're likely to see a spike in cases in a few weeks. Of course, to do any of those things, you have to use up a permit.


I didn't qualify for the direct payment, but I always handle all my tax stuff online. I have the government password and always administer my pension fund online with my, so I was able to request my 10% online, fortunately. Apparently a lot of people aren't set up to handle so much online.
