In line with approved guidance by the Commonwealth Healthcare Corp. and due to the continued success of preventative measures at the border by the Governor\u2019s COVID-19 Task Force, Gov. Ralph DLG Torres announced on Wednesday that the CNMI COVID-19 Emergency Directives are amended to allow businesses to open from 5am to 1am, allow for social gatherings at public beaches, and to modify curfew hours to 2am and 4am.<\/p>\n
These amendments will be effective Thursday, Aug. 6, 2020.<\/p>\n
The CNMI remains under Community Vulnerability Level \u201cBLUE,\u201d which signifies significant progress in community-based testing and no presence of community spread of COVID-19 due to protective measures at the border to immediately identify and isolate confirmed cases at designated quarantine sites.<\/p>\n
