The special statement issued by the PMO referred to 'essential services' and gave a list of such services in the public and private sectors including health and pharmaceutical related services.

As T&CM services, especially in recognised practice areas, are considered part of the healthcare delivery system in this country, there is no reason why they cannot continue. 

However any T&CM service provider has to be mindful of current guidelines and advisories issued by MOH with regard to COVID 19, and be responsible enough to advise those who are symptomatic or who have been in contact with known cases to come forward and seek treatment at the designated modern medicine healthcare facilities.
