The Ministry of the Presidency is calling for people that have permissions to circulate during the curfew to get these revalidated. He said the present permits are only valid until 6 September 2020. Presidency Minister Lisandro Macarrulla said those that have the permits are being notified by email to renew these. Once the person receives the email, they will have 48 hours to print and distribute the permits to their staff.
The permission is only being issued for 50% of employees in a single company. The permit must be carried by the employee when circulating during curfew hours.
