The government on Tuesday cited “improvement in the epidemiological situation” for its decision to lift the curfew “following positive results realised in the framework of the national vaccination campaign,” the government said in a statement.

Authorities are aiming to inoculate 80 per cent of the population and have stepped up a booster dose campaign since early October.
