Tunisia announces one-week COVID-19 lockdown from Sunday
NNA - Tunisia will impose a COVID-19 lockdown for one week from Sunday, Prime Minister Hichem Mechichi said on Friday, ahead of next week’s Eid al-Fitr holiday when families and friends traditionally gather.
Speaking at a news conference, Mechichi said measures were being taken in case “the health system will collapse, and this is a real danger”.
As cases have mounted and intensive care wards filled, Tunisia had already suspended school classes, imposed mandatory quarantine and extended a nightly curfew.
