Grog and liquor shops are not essential services and should not open during this containment period - Police

Police have made it clear that grog and liquor shops are not essential services and cannot open during this containment period.

They confirm only liquor shops in supermarkets can open.

Concerned citizens have contacted us on why a grog shop in Samabula is open even at night. They are also concerned about the opening of black markets and liquor shops during this time.

Police say they will advise the grog shop owner not to open and also stress that all non essential businesses should remain closed for now.
