He further mentioned that the activities of all these places will be monitored as things progress in the ensuing weeks. He suggests that multiple services can be held on the same day but all activities should be restricted to one day a week. No vigils nor mid-week activities are encouraged. Also, citizens above 65 are encouraged to stay home.
