Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Presidential Palace has not been opened to the public since February 2020. This is the first time the Presidential Palace has opened to the public since the outbreak of the epidemic.

As epidemic prevention measures have gradually been relaxed, the Presidential Office decided to resume opening day activities and will also invite the public who have booked tickets online to participate in the National Day Open Day activities. The public who successfully book free tickets for Labor Day and Eid Open Day events can enter the venue with their tickets.

President Halima posted on Facebook that he looked forward to welcome visitors again on August 1, and also reminded visitors to visit the newly opened "Inclusive Garden" and other new spaces, which will be held in February.
