Govt Gazettes Night Curfew SI Exemptions

Acting Minister of Health and Child Care Amon Murwira on Wednesday gazetted the legal statutory instrument amending lockdown regulations as announced by President Emmerson Mnangagwa on Tuesday.

The amended regulations impose a 6 pm to 6 am curfew and also provides a list of permitted exemptions from operations or travel during the curfew.

Under the new regulations, all travel by those who are in non-essential services, in or out of vehicles, is prohibited during the curfew hours and they must stay at home.

However, people can break curfew to buy medicine, move to and from work if they are employed in the essential services, seek medical attention, or go to the home of a relative who needs medical help.

Members of staff of a foreign mission or agency and are going to that mission are also exempted from the curfew.

The production, supply, delivery and distribution of food, fuel and coal is permitted during the curfew hours.

Mining and the operations of designated tobacco auction floors have also been added to the list of services that are exempted and can operate during the curfew.

Security guards manning business premises are exempted from the curfew as well.

However, the onus is on the person moving outside curfew hours to satisfy the officer enforcing the curfew.

Businesses which cannot operate during curfew hours include supermarkets and food shops, banks, bureaux de change and the like.

Courts, the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange, public examinations and Parliament remain essential services but have to obey the curfew.

All industrial and commercial businesses, including those in the informal sector that have been already exempted, can continue operating but their hours have been shortened back to 8 am to 3 pm.
