Government spokeswoman Hasna Ben Slimane announced at a press conference today that the decision on the general lockdown was made because it is a festive season.
May 13 and 14 are public holidays (Eid Al-Fitr), and most people will not be working during the weekend. Only 3 working days will therefore be sacrificed.
The private sector is similarly affected by the new measures and employers will not have the right to have their employees work in person during this period, she added.
In reply to a question put to her concerning the effects of this announcement on overcrowding in bus, rental and train stations, the Minister stated that the new measures only come into force this Sunday.
