The Office of the Secretary of State (Eddy Jackson Alexis) for Communication, informs the population that the public administration operates at a slowing pace but that the offices of the State services are always open to provide the services.

Many public institutions such as the Directorate General of Taxes (DGI), the National Port Authority (APN), customs, banks, transfer offices, immigration, the National Office of Old Age Insurance (ONA), the National Identification Office (ONI), the Office Insurance Vehicles Against Third Parties (OAVCT), the Office of Work Accident, Sickness and Maternity Insurance Office (OFATMA), police stations and many shops like supermarkets and pharmacies are open.

However, these private institutions and businesses have to operate with fewer staff. Arrangements are made to allow customers to comply with hygiene and public health guidelines to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

The Office of the Secretary of State invites everyone to continue to respect the distance of 1.5 meters (5 steps) with people as the easiest way to prevent the disease from spreading and recalls that the best way to prevent the disease from spreading to gain ground is not to leave your home without reason.
