The joint media committee of military and security departments  announced a set of procedures for establishing “Command & Control Checkpoints” between governorates of the Sultanate.

A statement issued by the joint media panel said that the procedures come in continuation of national efforts to curb the spread of coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.

The Joint Military-Security Media Committee expressed thanks to citizens and residents for their cooperation and understanding of the current conditions leading to the curbs which, it said, come within the precautionary measures undertaken by the state to protect public health against the Covid-19 by limiting the chances of infection with the disease.

The Joint Military-Security Committee makes the following plea to citizens and residents:

·              Stay at home and not to go out, except in extreme emergency.

·              

Carry Identity Cards (IDs, for citizens) and Expatriate Residency Cards (ERCs, for residents) when going out for urgencies and be prepared to explain the reasons.

·              Show IDs and ERCs at workplaces, in case your presence there is justified as extremely necessary.

·              Reside at one place during this period and limit your movement between governorates, except for top emergency.

·              Be aware that appropriate action will be taken against drivers of vehicles observed travelling around frequently for no apparent purpose.

The Joint Military-Security Media Committee requests all to adhere to the procedures which stem from the directives of the Supreme Covid-19 Control Committee. ONA
