He concluded his statements with an appeal to those listening: "I turn to the general public and ask you - let's turn our dreams into reality ... We had a dream of being able to reunite with our grandparents, being able to hug them again ... of being able to travel abroad on vacation. This could still happen if we are careful to adhere to the guidelines."
