Libya imposed sweeping restrictions to stem the spread of coronavirus as recorded cases hit a new high, with experts warning of a “critical” situation.
For the next two weeks, cafes must close, weddings and organised funerals with mourners are barred, and the use of public transport is banned, Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dbeibah said in a decree.
Restaurants can only serve food via deliveries, while people must wear a mask and observe social distancing rules in shops and markets, AFP reports.
