Most of the businesses were closed, including informal businesses (with the exception of a few supermarkets and petrol stations), as well as schools, because of the lack of transportation, they could not go to class or had stayed home for security reasons... Government offices were technically open, but employees were limited in number because they could not get to their workplace. The traffic was paralyzed on several axes of the capital deserted of their the tap-tap, bus, taxi and taxi-motorcycle... Some buses of Dignité offered a free transport service https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-22144-haiti-flash-transport-strike-the-state-ready-to-react.html were observed in several places in the capital as well as a strong police presence on foot and on patrols in strategic locations.

In some areas, especially in the center of the city, burning barricades were reported, as well as stone throwing on private vehicles which were still attempting to circulate.

Other strikes and demonstrations will be organized this time demanding the departure of the Head of State, if he continues to ignore the citizens, said trade union representatives who invites the President to stop lying to the population.

Renald Lubérice, the Secretary General of the Primature r, refers the ball saying that "it is the opposition that is only lying to the population by conveying false information about the budget..."
