Iraq issues 'total curfew' for Eid al-Adha
COVID-19 cases have increased to historic highs of around 2,000 a day in Iraq.
Iraq is instituting a “total curfew” for the upcoming Eid al-Adha holiday.
The curfew will be in place from July 30 until Aug. 9, according to a statement today from the Iraqi government. Past total curfew orders in Iraq have mandated a ban on non-essential movement and business, meaning people could only go to local supermarkets and pharmacies.
