Supreme Committee announces night movement ban in Oman

Muscat: The Supreme Committee tasked with controlling the COVID-19 pandemic has ordered a ban on movement of vehicles and individuals between 8 pm to 5 am from Sunday, March 28 to Thursday, April 8.

The decision for night lockdown and ban on movement have been taken to curb a spike in infections. According to experts, the period between April 1 and May 31 is a very critical period for the Sultanate, therefore, to avoid the worst, the Supreme Committee will take more drastic and comprehensive measures that may include total lockdown and complete movement ban during that period.
