Tonga extends emergency measures nationwide until May

The extension was announced Friday by Prime Minister Pōhiva Tu’i’onetoa.

This means, the nighttime curfews remain in force across Tonga until next month.

Kaniva News reports Tonga is still Covid-19 free.

The government set new rules governing public behaviour to help stop the spread of Covid-19 that came into force last week.

Under the rules, the boarder will remain closed until June 12 and there is a nighttime curfew from 8pm to 6am.

Liquor licensed nightclubs and kava clubs must close.
