From mid­night tonight, pub­lic trans­port will move from 75 per cent ca­pac­i­ty to 50 per cent ca­pac­i­ty and all con­struc­tion will cease un­til May 23rd.

This from Min­is­ter in the of­fice of the Prime Min­is­ter Stu­art Young who was speak­ing dur­ing the Prime Min­is­ter’s press con­fer­ence this af­ter­noon. Young said the Gov­ern­ment is ask­ing every­one to stay at home as much as pos­si­ble and work from home wher­ev­er pos­si­ble. He said all es­tab­lish­ments will be re­quired to close at 8pm.

All su­per­mar­kets, phar­ma­cies and hard­wares that fall un­der the es­sen­tial ser­vice list have no more than 50 per cent ca­pac­i­ty.

He said Prices­mart and oth­er re­tail ser­vices that op­er­ate on a mem­ber­ship ba­sis will be al­lowed to open but on­ly to sell gro­cery items, food and es­sen­tial items.

He is­sued a warn­ing to restau­rant own­ers to cease all de­liv­ery ser­vices, as he said this is not al­lowed un­der the cur­rent reg­u­la­tions. The full list of es­sen­tial ser­vices and work­ers will be pub­lished by the Of­fice of the Prime Min­is­ter.
