“Employers must provide face masks for workers dealing with the public.

“Shops must ensure that not more than 10 customers are allowed inside at a time,” he said.

He further said that the state government had made the provision of handwashing equipment such as running water, soap and hand sanitiser compulsory for business operators.

Suleiman said that the state government would arrest and prosecute anybody found to be violating the established protocols.
