In submitting reports on the operational implementation and mobility of industrial activities, the companies are required to declare that the data/information reported are correct and that they will be subject to administrative sanctions in the form of revocation of the IOMKI if there is a discrepancy in data/information related to the implementation of the COVID-19 health protocols.
