The minister, however, said the evacuation is expected to continue soon.
Among the new measures, the minister, announced was the cancelling of quarantining in hotels.
He said the evacuation was suspended to give room for new measures that would require citizens returning from overseas to get tested and self-isolate at home rather than in selected hotels.
