“The Secretariat and other Government Establishments would remain shut to members of the public and non-staff who are advised to conduct their affairs through other channels such as telephone, emails and online platforms.”

Public officials have also been urged to adhere to the dusk-to-dawn curfew put in place from Monday.

Government offices have been directed to provide liquid soap with water at the entrance of their offices.
