Not all public institutions will attend on Monday, February 6.

Faced with a requirement made by the National Electoral Council (CNE), President Guillermo Lasso ordered that the working day in the public and private sectors of that day be suspended at the national level, although it will be recoverable.

This is for the electoral day that the country will live this Sunday, February 5.

With that of this February 5, there are twelve national popular consultations held in Ecuador since the return to democracy

Due to the time it will take to scrutinize the ballots of mayors, prefects, councilors, parish councils, members of the Council for Citizen Participation and Social Control (CPCCS) and the referendum, the Executive ordered that February 6 be declared a recoverable holiday.

Through a statement, the Ecuadorian Social Security Institute (IESS) indicated that to guarantee the provision of health services and avoid the rescheduling of medical appointments, its health units will attend. Emergency care, outpatient consultation and hospitalization will be as normal.

However, public institutions such as the Civil Registry will not attend except for some services.

On Tuesday, February 7, it will resume all its services at regular hours, between 08:00 a.m. and 05:00 p.m.
