In a statement, to which VerAngola had access, the guardianship informs that work activity will be suspended from 12:30 pm, on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve.
"The suspension of work activity is hereby decreed on the afternoon of December 24th and 31st, on the eve of Christmas and New Year's Day, respectively, from 12:30pm", says the note.
The ministry also says that "it is the responsibility of those responsible for each administrative body or service to ensure compliance" with this measure.
"Workers who work shifts are not covered by this circular", the guardianship also warns.
