As of mid­night on Mon­day, Prime Min­is­ter Dr Kei­th Row­ley says all food ser­vices- in­clud­ing street food- will be shut down. 

Speak­ing at the Min­istry of Health press con­fer­ence on Mon­day af­ter­noon, the Prime Min­is­ter said all re­tail busi­ness­es will al­so be shut down. 

Es­sen­tial busi­ness­es- such as phar­ma­cies, su­per­mar­kets and hard­wares will re­main open. 

How­ev­er, Row­ley said those busi­ness­es will on­ly be al­lowed to open from 6 am to 8pm dai­ly. 

He ap­pealed to the pop­u­la­tion to stay at home un­less it is es­sen­tial to go out. 

He said the wages of not ad­her­ing to the cur­rent reg­u­la­tions, giv­en the rapid in­crease in COVID-19 cas­es over the past two weeks, will be death for some peo­ple.
