  • 4 years ago
The Albanian government has deployed the army to enforce a strict 40-hour curfew starting on Saturday.
According to Reuters, it's to fight the coronavirus after people widely flouted previous measures aimed at stemming its spread.
So far, 76 people have tested positive for the coronavirus with two deaths recorded.
Officials want to avert a sudden jump in infections that would strain limited public health services.
