Any person going to or returning from admission at the hospital or completion of medical treatment such as hemodialysis is excused as well.
“Vehicle operators who violate this order will be subject to penalties provided under the law. The CNMI Department of Public Safety would like to remind the public to only share official and accurate information and verified notices, press releases, and advisories from official sources.”
