In Togo, the curfew started on December 20 will last until January 3, 2021. It extends from 10 PM to 5 AM GMT throughout the period, except for December 24, 25, 31, and January 1 when it will begin at 11 PM and end at 5 AM.

The decision, officially announced on December 18 by the national coordination for the Covid-19 response management (CNGR), was made on the recommendation of a scientific council in charge of handling the virus.

Along with the curfew, bars will be closed over the period concerned. As for places of worship, only those that already have the authorization to operate will remain open (on Sundays only for churches and Fridays for mosques).

To date, Togo has reported 3,330 cases of Covid-19. These include 374 positive cases undergoing treatment, and 66 deaths (thus 8 deaths per million inhabitants). The first case, let’s recall, was reported nine months ago.
