The data indicated in the questionnaire will be automatically transmitted to law enforcement authorities: the State Police (VP), the State Border Guard (VRS) and the Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (SPKC).
Personal data will be stored for 30 days for the purpose of using the information for epidemiological security and for the traceability of contacts. In 30 days, personal data will be automatically deleted.
The State Police has the right to selectively stop vehicles to check whether persons in the respective vehicle had to fill the form and whether they have indeed done so.
The forms are available in three languages: Latvian, English and Russian.
