The extension will run for another month to allow communication access due to the increase in COVID-19 cases.
He said Information and Communication Minister, Timothy Masiu, has approved the extension from the end of July to Friday, the 31st of August, 2020, for provincial urban centres and Wednesday 30th September for the rest of the country.
The extension was granted after requests from the Department of Health in view of the rise in COVID-19 cases in the National Capital District.
