We hereby inform you that due to the prevailing hazardous situation of [X], it is decided that all our offices in the city [X] will remain closed. At this time, it would be very difficult for all of you to come out of your homes for office as there is unrest everywhere and one never knows when his turn will come.

As to open it in this prevailing situation is not less than a risk. So, it will remain closed for a long period of time.
