Sharjah24 - AFP :Tunisian President Kais Saied on Friday announced the lifting of a nighttime curfew in place since March 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, but imposed vaccine certificates for public events.
The curfew, currently in place between midnight and 5:00 am, will end on Sunday, Saied's office said in a statement.

A certificate proving the holder is fully vaccinated against Covid-19 will be necessary to "attend or take part in demonstrations, public and private activities or gatherings in open and closed spaces", it said.

After a sharp spike in Covid-19 cases in early July with 3,000 cases and more than 100 deaths per day, the North African country of 11.7 million people has seen its caseload tumble in recent weeks.
