Does a curfew help prevent the spread of the virus? (assuming this is directly virus related).
I often go for walks very late or very early when there's few out just because there's less people out and less chance of catching or spreading the virus (for obvious reasons) - how is going out between those hours going to do anything other than mean everyone's going for walks/shopping etc at the same time because they have a smaller amount of time to do it in.
Pretty sure most of these curfews are in place to stop people from going out at night — meaning going out to dinner, bars, friends houses for late night meetus, and so on and so forth.
People going on a walk late at night is not going to spread the virus, but a late night meetup at a friends house is probably going to involve a lot of people (10 or so) from different areas all eating, drinking / smoking, etc and spreading the virus to one another if they have it.
I’ve heard from my Canadian friends that things were getting strict up there, but didn’t know the curfew was that early.
