Authorities on the Caribbean island of Martinique ordered a new curfew on Tuesday, citing the worsening of the COVID-19 epidemic on the French territory.
The curfew is set at 8 p.m. local time and will start from Wednesday, the local authorities said, adding all trips will have to be justified by health or professional reasons.
This curfew follows another one ordered on Nov. 25 in Martinique after protesters looted shops and set up burning barricades amid demonstrations against COVID-19 protocols.Reporting by Mathieu Rosemain; Editing by Sam HolmesSubscribe for our daily curated newsletter to receive the latest exclusive Reuters coverage delivered to your inbox.
