The curfew, which will begin on Thursday and end on Monday, lasts from midnight to 6:00 a.m. each night. Businesses in the area will be closed, and restaurants will be open for delivery only after that time. Essential services will not be impacted, and residents will still be permitted to leave and arrive at their homes.
