The issue regarding the nationwide curfew has been again brought up in parliament where SODELPA MP, Lynda Tabuya asked how the government is continuing to justify the nationwide curfew while Minister for Defence and National Security, Inia Seruiratu says we should not rush into changing what we have in place.

Tabuya says there is no scientific evidence to prove that keeping the curfew will prevent the spread of COVID-19 and neither it has been proven that it prevents crimes.

In response, Seruiratu says the right to life is more important than the economy.
