Mozambique: Restrictive Measures to Avoid Third Wave of Pandemic

Maputo — The deputy general director of Mozambique's National Health Institute (INS), Eduardo Samo Gudo, on Tuesday said the government's decision to keep in force all the restrictive measures imposed to halt the spread of the Covid-19 respiratory disease was the prudent course to take.

The measures, confirmed by President Filipe Nyusi on Monday night, include a ban on religious services, political gatherings, and most forms of private gatherings. Bars remain closed and there are restrictions on the times at which alcohol can be sold in other establishments. Also closed are casinos, night clubs, and gymasiums. A curfew, running from 22.00 to 04.00, has been imposed in the Greater Maputo Metropolitan Area, and all other provincial capitals.
