The Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Azerbaijan amended the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Azerbaijan No. 151 of May 26, 2021 "On measures to extend the special quarantine regime and remove some restrictions." According to the Resolution, the festivities were allowed to be held under appropriate conditions.

After the owner of the place enters the information about the employees into the portal, the information about the percentage of employees with COVID-19 passports will be displayed on the main page. As of July 1, 2021, at least 80 percent of work and service workers who require a COVID-19 passport will be required to be vaccinated the first dose against COVID-19 or have a certificate of immunity against COVID-19, from August 1, 2021, a COVID-19 passport is required.
