The Presidential Council (PC) has made a decision to extend the partial curfew for a further ten days, beginning from today, insisting that the ban should be applied for the full 24-hour period, without exception, throughout the days of the Eid Al-Fitr celebrations.

The Supreme Committee, formed to confront the Coronavirus pandemic, recommended these measures to the PC on Sunday, as a precaution in order to reduce the possibility of spreading the Coronavirus pandemic.

The Committee’s other recommendations included, requiring citizens to wear protective medical masks when leaving their homes and the implementation of set hours for administrative work in institutions at 10%, which represents working hours from 9am until 2pm, whist keeping major stores and markets fully closed for now.
