Community members are encouraged to avoid places where protests are taking place and to be alert throughout the day.
People are advised not to attend public events that might turn violent, and store owners have been strongly advised to temporarily close their establishments as a precaution.
Additionally, the advise warns against keeping a prominent presence in public areas when protests are taking place.
