The Anti-Covid-19 Supreme Committee has underscored the need for strict application of a zero-tolerance policy with respect to implementing the curfew measures established to stem the Covid-19 pandemic, the National Centre for Disease Control said in a statement on Sunday.
This came during a meeting on Saturday, with the Scientific Consultative Committee formed by the Presidential Council to follow up on the lockdown measures for containing the Covid-19 outbreak in the country.
Some areas and municipalities are beginning to ease their way out of the lockdown, as they allowed shops and businesses to reopen and resume activities.
However, the committee argued that the move to loosen the restrictions was not based on health criteria, and will put people's lives at risk.
It urged all individuals and officials to abide by the Coronavirus restrictions, warning that the country is not yet ready to move to the de-escalation phase.
