KHJ News asked the Chairman of the Coronavirus Task Force Iulogologo Joseph Pereira about the reason for the 9pm closing for businesses given that under the latest declaration public gatherings have unlimited numbers and we don’t have any coronavirus cases.

He said, “Leaving the closure of businesses at 9pm reflects a precaution for unnecessary movement at night”.

He said, “Our people have sufficient hours to purchase whatever they need. The COVID-19 pandemic is still very much on the surge and we cannot let our guards down.”
