The Prime Minister says that Corpus Christi, also known as the "Day of Wreaths", is set aside on the Christian calendar to honour the Holy Eucharist which was observed at the last supper before Christ was crucified.
But the Corpus Christi public holiday will be yet another extended curfew meant to restrict movement under the State of Emergency implemented to end to the current COVID surge.
The Prime Minister is calling on the population to exercise discipline while the Opposition Leader is calling on the authorities to hasten relief to those in need.
