Accordingly, the night-time curfew will be between 9:00pm and 5:00am. 

The changes which came into effect as of today will be valid until Monday, the 26th of April.

Supermarkets will be open between 7:00am and 8:00pm during the weekdays. 

Sectors which are open on Saturday, the 24th of April will be required to close by 6p:00m. 

Should the current epidemiological situation deteriorate by mid-week, restaurants and eateries will only be allowed to remain open for delivery or takeaway services on Saturday, the 24th of April.
