Yesterday the Premier said, “The Cabinet, however, has decided that the curfew that went into effect on Sunday, and is scheduled to expire tonight, will be extended for a further three days from Wednesday 1 April, to Friday, the 3 April, from 8pm until 6am the following day.
“It is important that we continue to work together to ensure that we reduce the spread of Covid-19 and flatten the curve so we do not overwhelm our healthcare system.
“Officers from the Ministry of Health, and others authorized to do so, have been in the community inspecting, advising and ensuring the observation of social distancing guidelines, within businesses that are still allowed to operate.
“This activity is being undertaken to help ensure vital businesses remain open and that social distancing measures needed to reduce the spread of this virus are contained.
“Regarding last night’s curfew. The Bermuda Police Service has reported that there were no curfew breaches last night. This is excellent news because this indicates that as a country, we are taking this matter seriously.
“The Bermuda Police Service had officers positioned around the island together with nine members of the Royal Bermuda Regiment on patrol. I am pleased that we did not have any curfew violations and I encourage everyone to do the same again tonight.”
