The new measures were in conjunction with its previous guidelines issued on April 23 and April 27.
Under the “Stay Home, Stay Safe” strategy, all markets, businesses and shops will remain closed except essential services including grocery stores, pharmacies, medical facilities and vaccination centres, vegetable, fruit and meat shops, bakeries, petrol pumps, and food takeaways.
