As Christmas day draws near, we take the opportunity to reflect upon the gifts we are most grateful for with the ones we love and cherish most. The holiday season brings forth the best of what the Commonwealth and its people have to offer, for it is time of rejoicing with family and friends, spreading goodwill to our neighbors, and giving thanks for all our blessings, big and small.
Protecting the health and safety of our people has been the main priority during this COVID-19 pandemic, and I will continue to do everything I can to keep our community safe against this virus. Accordingly, I am hereby shutting down all non-essential government offices in the Commonwealth for the next 14 days from Monday, December 6, 2021 through Sunday, December 19, 2021.
In the spirit of giving thanks, I am hereby authorizing all non-critical employees of the Commonwealth’s departments and agencies to take Administrative Leave at 12:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 24, 2021 and for all of Friday, November 26, 2021.
Pursuant to 1 CMC § 311, the following legal holidays are observed in the Commonwealth for the calendar year of 2022. Please note that schools and government offices are closed on these days. All department and activity heads must ensure that essential public services are not disrupted during these days.
