PREVENTION AND CONTROL OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES (MEASURES WITHIN THE INFECTED LOCAL AREAS) REGULATIONS 2020 PU(A) 91/2020 - It is these Regulations that deals with the control of movement, and the prevention of workplaces/business from operating, save for those that provide the listed 'essential services', and unless EXTENDED immediately, it means that we may all have to go back to work tomorrow, 1/4/2020.
Remember, that it is this Order and Regulation that now justify the various movement control restrictions in place. The government, should have at the same time, the gazetted the extension of the Order, done the extension of the Regulations, more so since the current Regulations clearly has an expiry date.
I just checked online to verify whether the said Regulations have been extended or not - not yet?
