Beginning this Saturday, Oman will impose a two-week nationwide lockdown amid an uptick in COVID-19 cases, state media outlets reported.
The ban on travel between governorates will run from July 25 through August 8, the country’s coronavirus task force said in a statement. Oman is also mandating a daily curfew from 7p.m. to 6 a.m., during which shops and other public spaces will be closed. All other kinds of public gatherings, including collective Eid prayers and traditional Eid markets, remain closed.
