The Decision Is Yours! Full Lockdown To Be Considered As New 7 PM Curfew Announced

The Decision Is Yours! Full Lockdown To Be Considered As New 7 PM Curfew Announced

In a move to further limit the movement of residents and prevent the further upsurge of COVID-19 , Cabinet has agreed to extend the curfew commencing today, Friday, July 9.
Minister for Health and Social Development Hon. Carvin Malone said the 14-day curfew will now begin from 7 pm and end at 5 am daily, with the exception of essential workers.

The initial curfew was from 11 pm to 5 am for two weeks.

“Furthermore, the Cabinet also decided that for 14 days, persons will be advised to limit their movement and stay at home where possible and that no loitering or gathering will be encouraged,” he remarked.

He continued: “This decision is expected to be revised on a regular basis to determine whether further measures including a 24-hour lockdown may be required to limit movement in order to further reduce the spread of COVID-19 in the territory. This decision is yours, in terms of how we can see adherence to this particular 7 pm to 5 am (curfew), but during the daytime hours only if you have to move around to do this.”

Minister Malone also informed that Cabinet has also decided to amend the Public Health control and suppression measures to restrict all restaurants to take out services only for the period of the curfew order.

Restaurants were previously allowed to offer limited dine-in services under the first curfew order.

These new measures come on the heels of having 821 active cases of COVID-19 within days.
