Paraguay's President, Mario Abdo Benítez, has decreed a non-working public sector holiday for Ash Wednesday, Wednesday, April 17, 2019, to let Paraguayan civil servants begin their Holy Week non-working public holidays earlier.
As per the aforementioned Decreto Nº 1598, Paraguay's public servants will be off from 12:00 noon the day of Wednesday, April 17, 2019 ("declaró asueto para funcionarios públicos, el miércoles 17 de abril a partir de las 12:00, por la Semana Santa").
One-off public sector holidays have been common in Paraguay in the past, most commonly for Holy Wednesday (26-Feb-2019, 22-Mar-2018, 18-Mar-2016, 20-Mar-2015, 11-Apr-2014, 16-Mar-2013, 03-Apr-2012, 18-Apr-2011, 30-Mar-2010 and 06-Apr-2009), and for the year-end (11-Dec-2018, 13-Dec-2016, 22-Dec-2014, 07-Dec-2012, 19-Dec-2011, 23-Dec-2010 and 23-Dec-2009), though often only for the afternoon.
