This will apply to all State, semi-government and private sector entities except which are categorized as essential services.

This period is not considered as public holidays. The uninterrupted continuation of public services is the responsibility of the Government. However, the objective of this measure is to prevent the unnecessary gathering of people and pave the way for self-quarantine.

Earlier, a Work from Home Week was announced from March 20th to March 27th. The Government announces the same procedure should follow during this time too.
