Health authorities in Mauritania reported on Wednesday and Thursday seven and four new cases of COVID-19 respectively.
Last week, the Mauritanian authorities decided to ease certain measures initially taken as part of the national response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The government said in a statement that the new curfew schedule would be from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m., instead of 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.
Mauritania has reported two deaths and seven recovery cases since March 13.
