09:51 | Lima, Jun. 21.

Starting today, mandatory social immobility (curfew) in Metropolitan Lima and Callao will be from 11 p.m. to 4 a.m. given that both jurisdictions experienced an improvement in pandemic control indicators and a decrease in their risk level for COVID-19.

The curfew hours have been reduced due to the fact that the capital and the country's main port city have moved down to "high" risk level for COVID-19, which implies fewer restrictions for the population.

Lima and Callao remained at the "very high" risk level until Sunday, June 20.

Along with Lima and Callao, various provinces in Cajamarca, Huancavelica, Huanuco, Ica, La Libertad, Lambayeque, Madre de Dios, Piura, Puno, San Martin, and Tumbes will be under the "high" risk classification for COVID-19 restrictions starting June 21.

In all of them, the night curfew will start at 11 p.m. and will end at 4 a.m. the next day.

Sunday ban on private vehicles

As part of this new classification, the ban on the use of private vehicles will remain in force all day on Sundays, whereas public transportation systems will operate without restrictions.

According to the guidelines issued by the Executive Branch, this new classification will apply from Monday, June 21, to Sunday, July 11.
