Medellin imposes curfew as Colombia enters 2nd coronavirus wave

by Adriaan Alsema October 29, 2020

Medellin declared a red alert, a curfew and a liquor ban for the upcoming weekend as Colombia appears to be entering a second wave of coronavirus infections.

Colombia’s health minister Fernando Ruiz authorized the tightening of restrictions on Wednesday after local authorities registered an increase in infections throughout October.

To prevent a surge in infections during the long Halloween weekend, Medellin and the nine municipalities that make up the city’s metropolitan area will uphold a 10PM to 6AM curfew from Friday to Monday.

In his daily propaganda show on social media, President Ivan Duque said that minor measures that are currently in place will be extended until the end of November.
