Tunisia's reduces overnight curfew after president's Ramadan request
- 3 years ago
Tunisia reduced its night curfew on Saturday, a day after President Kais Saied requested a review of the measure to avoid the loss of thousands of jobs in the month of Ramadan.
‘’The curfew will start 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.,’’ Prime Minister Hichem Mechichi told reporters, reducing it from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m.
Mechichi’s government has announced tougher curfew restrictions on Wednesday to combat a surge in new coronavirus cases.
