Muscat: The Sultanate of Oman on Saturday issued new restrictions to limit the spread of Coronavirus (Covid-19).

The decision includes a ban on the movement of individuals and vehicles as well as the closing of all public places and commercial activities, from 8pm until 4am.

The Supreme Committee in the Sultanate of Oman confirmed that all health sector institutions, led by the Ministry of Health, are continuing to implement the national plan for immunization against (Covid-19) according to the specific stages and target groups, and called on all those targeted to take the initiative to immunize themselves to protect themselves, members of their families and their community from infection with this disease.
