The Ministry of Public Security has decided to relax the 2 a.m. curfew for the Christmas season.
This move comes after pleas from the general public, various businesses, Guyanese who are visiting for the holiday and even senior public officials. These persons said that they want to fully enjoy their Christmas season.
The relaxation of the curfew will be in full effect from today, up until January 12, for bars, night clubs and other various entertainment spots.
The Ministry has noted that as of January 13 the curfew will be back in full effect.
In addition, the Ministry has also stated that despite the curfew being relaxed the laws governing driving under the influence will be enforced through police patrols and other means.
“All other laws especially those prohibiting drinking and driving and noise nuisance will be thoroughly enforced through more vehicular patrols and policemen outside partying spots.”
The Ministry has advised citizens who wish to attend events during this period to always have a designated driver and to ensure that the noise produced at the night spots are at a minimum level.
“Partygoers are advised to get a designated driver and ensure noise levels at partying spots are not excessive.”
The curfew was enforced on July 2015 to aid in the reduction of domestic violence cases, traffic accident cases and to increase the work productivity of the working class mainly the younger population.
