He added, “This situation prompted the government to impose a package of new measures that will enter into force today, Tuesday, starting at 21:00 local time (20:00 GMT), without specifying a date for its end.
The new measures, according to Al-Othmani, include “a ban on night movement starting from nine in the evening local time (20:00 GMT) to five in the morning.”
