Coronavirus: Tunisia relaxes curfew hours

No new infection has been reported in the past three days No new infection has been reported in the past three days

Tunisia has reduced its nightly curfew hours for a second time.

A 12-hour curfew that was introduced a little under a month ago to help combat coronavirus has been reduced to six hours.

The country has not recorded any new cases of the disease for three days.

Health officials say half of those who have been recorded as having the infection have recovered and only a few people remain in hospital.

Some restrictions still remain: large public events are banned, a permit is required for travel between regions and shopping malls, bars and restaurants remain closed.
