Earlier, the commission announced that the apparatus assignment payment counter service at the MCMC headquarters has also been suspended temporarily from Wednesday to March 8.
It said the temporary closure and suspension were decided as a proactive measure following the spread of Covid-19 infection, thus reflected the MCMC's concern for public safety and health.
Meanwhile, the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) would conduct a body temperature screening on customers, contractors and employees entering its premises as a preventive measure against the Covid-19 threat.
