State of emergency extended in Tonga due to spread of COVID-19
Tonga on Monday extended its state of emergency from Jan. 18, to Feb. 15, this year due to the continuous spread of COVID-19 in the world.
Tongan authorities also renewed the COVID-19 national restrictions, which include the night-time curfew and social distancing requirements.
The requirement includes limits for the number of people allowed to gather indoors and outdoors, and hygiene recommendations.
The curfews in the island nation continue to be enforced from midnight to 5:00 a.m. local time by Tonga police and the military. Other COVID-19 restrictions also remain in place.
The health state of emergency was first declared in Tonga by Prime Minister Pohiva Tu’i’onetoa on March 12 2019 and has been renewed regularly since.
