Harmon calls reduction of curfew hours “reckless”

Opposition Leader Joseph Harmon on Friday called the reduction of the national curfew hours as part of the latest COVID-19 emergency measures “reckless” as cases continue to rise daily.

Speaking at a news conference yesterday, Harmon endorsed statements made earlier in the week by fellow APNU+AFC Members of Parliament, who had pointed out the growing danger caused by the spread of the virus along with the ineffectiveness to the national response under the tenure of the PPP/C.

He noted that it was only the day after those statements were made that the government announced the reduction of the curfew hours, which are now from 9pm to 4am. The curfew was previously 6pm to 6am.
