”The ban covers all fires out of doors, grilling on the ground as well”, it says.

The ban came into force today, 10th June, at 1 pm. This means that it is forbidden to light any kind of fire or to grill on the ground out of doors.

Grilling on a grill designed for outdoor use or in a place specially made for grilling is permitted, but you must be careful to keep an eye on the grill and see to it that no glowing embers spread from it.
