London, 18 May 2020:

The internationally recognized Libyan government, based in Tripoli, yesterday extended the current curfew for another 10 days – until 28 May. The curfew will continue during Ramadan from 6pm until 6 am the next morning.

However, it also announced a 24-hour curfew for the three Eid days.

It will be recalled that at the time of publication, Libya has a total of 64 Coronavirus cases with 28 recoveries and 3 deaths.

The WHO warns that these numbers could be misleading as Libya conducts extremely low testing.
