Assistant Commissioner of Police, Dr. Abdulla Fairoosh has revealed that permits to commence businesses cannot be given in the same manner for all establishments.
Speaking to press on Thursday night, the Assistant Police Commissioner noted that that new protocols being followed will increase the movement on streets.
Highlighting that each individual was given one hour during the lockdown period, Dr. Fairoosh noted that since the time has been increased to two hours, this will increase the movement on the roads of the Greater Malé Region.
However, changes have been brought to the timings now, as such, shops will be opened from 9am to 9pm every day to provide services to the public.
Under this protocol, the same methods cannot be implemented for every business, he added, noting that a different protocol will be followed for delivery businesses.
Fairoosh highlighted that they do not expect any issues with this procedure as authorities believe a majority of the public adhere to the regulations set by the authorities. However, the number of individuals going out on the streets will be increased now due to the lockdown ease that was implemented on Thursday.
