On October 19, the Executive branch announced that the country was entering the stage of easing economic activities through October 25. The measure enables several sectors of the economy to operate during restricted hours, such as banking and transport services and supermarkets.

Over the course of this week, the banking sector may serve the public from 9 am to 1 pm Monday to Friday. It is worth remembering that the flexibilization scheme put in place by the Executive is composed of two seven-day stages which succeed each other. One stage implies seven days of quarantine and the other seven days of flexible commercial activities.
