Addis Ababa – Ethiopia can jail people for up to two years if they deliberately violate restrictions aimed at curbing the spread of Covid-19, the attorney general's office said, amid concern that citizens are becoming lax after a state of emergency was lifted.
"Now it is as if Covid is no longer there, the public is not taking care," Health Minister Lia Tadesse tweeted on Thursday."This will cause a possible increase in the spread of the disease and might be a threat to the nation.” The new law permits fines and imprisonment for up to two years for anyone breaks the restrictions, the attorney general's office said in a statement on its Facebook page on Wednesday.
