Students of university, institute, colleges, vocational school and high school will start their school time at 7am and finish at 6pm.

Centres of trade, service, banking and finance, stock exchange, and insurance will open at 9am and close at 10pm.

However, work time and school time remain, starting at 8am and finishing at 5am, for the third group including governmental staff; civil servant; pupils of kindergarten, primary school and secondary school to avoid disrupting the daily life.
