A new decree issued by the Minister of Health notes that persons who belong to the vulnerable groups of society must be able to present identification or proof of their condition if asked to be allowed to enter supermarkets before 10am local time.

The decree which comes into force from Saturday, is necessary, it said due to the non-compliance with the original decree and issues raised regarding the vulnerable groups of society.

Supermarkets will exclusively serve people who belong to vulnerable groups of society, those 60 years and over and people with disabilities from opening until 10am
