The police are reporting that two more groups have been added to the list of categories of persons who are allowed to traverse to and from work during the no-movement periods.
They are money transfer and remittance agents and persons employed at, or who operate, farm stores.
In addition to these two groups, churches have been permitted to operate on Sunday, August 22; Sunday, August 29, and Sunday, September 5.
The police are reminding persons who fall into the exempt categories to ensure that they have proper identification, and where necessary, authorisation letters, to establish the legitimacy of their claim when stopped by the police.
