These routes are roughly the western and souther= n edges of the Green Zone, the road from Deh Mazang Square to the Company A= rea, as well as the markets around Lycee Maryan Road in PD 11 (see attached= map). In addition, ANP has increased its posture in crowded areas in the K= abul City Centre, including Shahr-e Naw, to enforce the closure of shops an= d restrictions in travelling in larger groups or larger vehicles, as below.= <br /><br />Meanwhile, the four gates of Kabul are closed for almost = all incoming vehicle traffic, with at least one NGO staff member travelling= in a Corolla-type vehicle unable to enter the city from the east this morn= ing, and hundreds of vehicles, mostly Corolla-type, blocked at the entry po= ints. <br /><br />The above measures likely result from a degree of co= nfusion on the part of ANSF with regards to who is and is not allowed to tr= avel into or within the city, and the nature of the restrictions should be = clarified within the next few days. <br /><br />For NGOs, the situatio= n also remains unclear, with a series of instructions from the Ministry of = Economy's Directorate for NGOs mentioning that NGOs delivering medical or o= ther essential projects should continue to operate, and that essential NGO = staff could move to the NGO offices to ensure the NGOs continue operations.= However, a system of permits is not in place, and details regarding what c= onstitutes 'essential' have not been made available. <br /> </div= > <div style=3D"text-align: justify;">In addition, NGOs are encouraged to rev= ise travel plans in and out of Kabul City and to consider postponing travel= until the situation is clarified. <br /><br /></div> <div style=3D"text-align: justify;">Within Kabul itself, NGO staff are enco= uraged to select alternative routes to those marked in the attached map, as= well as limit movement to the essential. </div> <br /> <div style=3D"text-align: justify;"><strong>As of 27 March, 1800 hrs:</stro= ng> On 27 March, President Ghani signed a decree approving the development = of a plan to impose restrictions on movement, gatherings, and government an= d business operations in Kabul City for three weeks starting on 28 March, o= r until 18 April. The period can be extended if needed.<br /><br /></div> <div style=3D"text-align: justify;">At approximately 1600 hrs, the Ministry= of Public Health in a press conference announced some details regarding th= e restrictions. These are as follows:</div> <div style=3D"text-align: justify;"> <ol> <li>Closure of all businesses with the exception of food shops, banks, phar= macies, and bakeries. This includes all restaurants, although restaurants c= an continue to deliver food should they have this service available.</li> <li>Closure of public gathering places, including parks and other recreatio= nal areas, public and private educational institutions of all levels, and s= hrines.

This will include the Ministry of Economy, as well as line ministrie= s which are normally engaged with NGO operations, such as the Ministry of E= ducation. The Afghanistan National Disaster Monitoring Agency and other eme= rgency response entities can be re-mobilised as necessary.</li> <li>A ban on all large movements of people into Kabul City and within the c= ity itself, with vehicles with more than four people inside, including publ= ic or private transportation buses. Movement of cargo is exempted from the = above, however.</li> <li>A ban on the movement of people in groups of more than three.</li> <li>A ban on non-essential movements, even for individuals, with residents = choosing to move needing to be able to justify a valid reason for doing so,= such as health or security reasons.</li> </ol> </div> <div style=3D"text-align: justify;">In addition, the government plans to as= sign government facilities as isolation wards for people detected or suspec= ted of carrying the COVID-19 virus. These will include some wedding halls a= nd educational institutions, including the Polytechnic Institute (PD5), Rab= ani Educational institute (PD5), Habibya High School (PD7), Nadaria High Sc= hool (PD2). A Government Operation Control Centre for COVID-19 will be base= d in Darulaman Palace, PD 6, and will be operational 24/7.

A system of permits for movement = will for the time being not be implemented, with ANSF inquiries regarding t= he reason for an individual moving around the city likely to rely solely on= the individual’s response.

Twenty-four-hour shifts for guards and drivers may need to be implem= ented as well in the future, although for the time being a strict applicati= on of restrictions on individual movement is unlikely. NGO staff is, noneth= eless, advised to carry NGO ID cards when moving to and from the office or = for other official purposes.<br /><br /></div> <div style=3D"text-align: justify;">Usual mitigation measures against crimi= nality and other risks should continue to be enforced at the same time, inc= luding counter-surveillance or varying routines.<br /><br /></div> <div style=3D"text-align: justify;">NGOs are furthermore advised to become = informed as to further details about the restrictions from official sources= and to inquire with INSO if necessary.
