In the Western Division, only essential services will operate. In the Northern, Eastern and Central Divisions, all civil servants are to report to work as normal.

Permanent Secretaries have been directed to ensure staff are informed and that essential services in the Western Division remain fully operational.

Meanwhile, schools across the country are closed today due to heavy rain and flooding.

Education Minister Aseri Radrodro said the decision was made with the National Disaster Risk Management Office based on reports from District Education Offices.
