Businesses got on Monday a new lease of life as government commenced the phase two of the ease of lockdown by gradually reopening the economy.
Banks were given immediate clearance to operate fully. Hotels got the nod to reopen “but must observe all mandatory non-pharmaceutical intervention”.
“We are not opening places of worships across the board. We are saying that opening is conditional and it is based on these clear-cut guidelines and would only cover regular church and mosque services.“Effective from tomorrow Tuesday the 2nd of June, 2020, the easing of the lockdown will be characterised by the following:
“There will be full opening of the financial sector with banks now allowed to operate normal working hours-five days a week. “In terms of general movement, persons may go out for work, go to buy necessary food and for exercise provided that they abide by the curfew hours. “The aviation industry requested to start developing protocols to allow for domestic flights to resume anytime from June 21 onwards. Airlines must ensure physical distancing by reducing passenger capacity, ensure the provision of hand sanitisers, and appropriate person protective equipment as well as carrying out temperature checks at points of entry and departure and ensuring that airports are not congested by either non-travelers or by airport staff.
