Tunisia implements new restrictions as virus cases soar
The North African country is experiencing an outbreak of the coronavirus after relatively low cases earlier in the year.
Tunisia banned travel within the country and instituted several other anti-virus measures today as it struggles to contain an outbreak of COVID-19.
Authorities on Thursday banned travel between governorates, suspended school classes and prohibited gatherings of more than four people, Reuters reported. Secondary schools can reopen on Nov. 8 and universities can do so on Nov. 12. Protests are also not allowed, and the government implemented a national curfew starting at 8 p.m. on weeknights and 7 p.m. on weekends, according to the outlet.
