The Imperial Palace's press room hummed with tension as journalists from across the empire and international media outlets gathered, carefully spaced according to new distancing protocols. The raised platform held the empire's key ministers, each seated two meters apart, their faces grave with the weight of their announcements.
Minister of Health Fernando stepped to the podium first, adjusting his face shield. "We will begin taking questions. Please state your name and organization before speaking."
Maria Santos from Oriental Daily rose. "Minister, can you elaborate on the travel restrictions for citizens currently abroad?"
