The government has announced permits and restrictions under level 4 of the Covid-19 blockade, with all telecommunication and ICT services and products available for sale, but alcohol and most long-distance travel are still prohibited.

The changes were announced at a government press conference on Saturday ahead of the release of new regulations next week dealing with blockade levels.

The blockade will be reduced from level 5 (almost universal restrictions) to a slightly less restrictive level 4 as of Friday May 1.

According to a document released by the government on Saturday (see below), all telecommunications, ICT services, ICT equipment, airtime, postal services and courier services for products allowed in level 4 are allowed as of Friday.

Still on the list of restrictions are alcohol sales, most trips, concerts, movie theaters, and public gatherings.

Limited exercise will be allowed, but not organized sporting events. The gyms will remain closed. There will also be no air and sea passenger transport.

The impact of Tier 4 on the education sector, including universities and schools, will only be announced on Monday. – (c) 2020 NewsCentral Media
