TERRITORIANS will miss out on a public holiday in 2020, with the week set to start on Monday after the Anzac Day weekend.

While many will remain at home due to social distancing regulations, those working will still have to dial into their zoom meetings, log onto their laptops and keep plotting into their excel sheets.

This year’s official Anzac Day commemorations will be kept to a minimum across the Territory with Darwin and Palmerston RSLs urging Territorians to pay their respects indoors and follow coronavirus social-distancing regulations.

However, April 25 falls on a weekend this year meaning Territorians miss out on a day off the tools.

Only Western Australia and the ACT will enjoy time off work on Monday this year, as well as a number of smaller regions.

But the public holiday will be back next year on Monday, April 26.
