Starting Monday, private offices can open with 33% of staff in offices and standalone shops – those not in markets or malls – selling both essential and non-essential goods can also restart business.
Self-employed professionals like cleaners, cooks, electricians and plumbers can also resume work.
But none of these relaxations will apply to containment zones and public transport will remain shut, which means many will not be able to go out.
While the new guidelines come from the federal government, states can reject certain relaxations depending on their situation.
