The above must observe social distancing and allow groups of no more than 20 persons at a time. If not adhered to, the businesses will be shut down by government with immediate effect.
For Sundays for the next two weeks, besides emergency services, only gas stations, pharmacies, hotels with attached amenities for guests only and newspapers will be allowed to open until 6pm.

It says flights can’t bring anyone in, but flights can come in to pick people up.
