MONROVIA, November 13 (LINA) – President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has adjusted the curfew to run from 12 am to 6:00 a. m, accept for people living in the proximity of hotspots. 

The curfew previously ran from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. but was later adjusted to hold from 11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.

 

The president announced the latest adjustment in a nationwide address Thursday on the stated-owned radio in Monrovia.

The Chief Executive said government has made adjustments in the curfew as progress was being made the fight against Ebola, with the recent reduction in cases prompting the latest adjustment.
