Tight restrictions remain in force for Papua New Guinea's West New Britain province because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
A nightly curfew will apply until 15 January in a bid to contain the spread of the virus.
Residents of neighbouring East New Britain are being urged not to travel to West New Britain, neither by road nor by sea.
Two Covid-19 positive cases have been detected at the weekend, with one of them a man who had travelled from West New Britain before Christmas.
The other case is a mine worker in New Ireland province who tested positive at the Lihir Medical Centre.
PNG has to date recorded 799 Covid-19 cases, including nine fatalities.
