For three days starting today no one will be allowed to come out of their houses except those in need of medical attention and those involved in providing essential services.

In its notice, the DAO also said that stringent action will be taken against anyone violating the prohibitory order. 

During this period, all services except for highly essential ones dealing with health, drinking water, dairy, electricity; ambulances and fire trucks, waste management, fuel, and medicines will remain closed, according to the DAO.
