Government declares that midnight marks end to curfew – and it will NOT be extended

The government has declared that midnight today marks the end of a 21-day curfew imposed on the nation by President Adama Barrow.

President Barrow had on August 27 extended a 21-day curfew by another 21 days as his administration scrambles to control coronavirus from spreading.

The 21-day extension will end on Thursday at midnight, a statement by the government spokesperson Ebrima Sankareh said.

“At the expiration of the State of Public Emergency by midnight tonight, His Excellency, President Adama Barrow, has decided to relax the night curfew throughout The Gambia,” Sankareh said.
