Days after Hoboken officials announced the city’s first positive case of COVID-19, the mayor declared a mandatory nightly curfew in the latest attempt to stop the spread of the virus.
Mayor Bhalla detailed the curfew in a city blogpost late Saturday night, outlining the details of a nightly curfew that will run from 10 p.m. and end at 5 a.m. each night. The curfew is scheduled to begin Monday evening.
All Hoboken residents will be required to remain indoors during the curfew hours except for emergencies and required work, the mayor said.
In addition to nightly curfews, restaurants and bars within city limits will only be allowed to offer takeout and delivery options, the mayor said. Food and drink establishments will not be allowed to seat diners during the mandated curfew.
Bars that do not serve food will not be allowed to serve alcohol beginning Sunday at 11 a.m.

This is getting so out of hand it’s unbelievable. Gov’t is taking liberties. Acclimating people to unilateral power.
Another example of the idiots in politics.
One can go to Walmart at 10:AM but can’t go at 11;00PM?
All Hoboken residents will be required to remain indoors during the curfew hours except for emergencies and required work, the mayor said.
If or when my burg does this you’ll be reading abut me the next day.
Yes, this one seems beyond the pale.
A CURFEW???? Does he think you can only catch the crap late at night driving around in your car???? Good stinking grief. People need to get a damned grip!!!
Take out or delivered drinks? I do not think this is really about the virus it is more than that.
And these bums want our guns.
Makes one wonder.
In the article he references a call as he was posting for a bar fight. Said EMS is busy on calls he implies are for the virus can’t be bothered by bar fight injuries.
Really thinking some of these folks are starting to make stuff up.

“Bars that do not serve food will not be allowed to serve alcohol beginning Sunday at 11 a.m.”
There is no end date set at least in the article.
One leftard mayor even made it her EO to ban guns aside from the curfew. It’s on an FR thread. Yup these assholes are overreaching. Curfew my ass
This is stupid. Does this mayor think that this virus can not be spread during daylight too?
“One leftard mayor even made it her EO to ban guns aside from the curfew. It’s on an FR thread. “
Also banned:
Food
Water
Alcohol
Gasoline
Clothes
Many business are having people work from home or just staying home. I imaginee some of them will venture out elsewhere but when the US shuts down I guess they will have no choice but to stay home.
People are getting the message. Stay home ,avoid others. Adds to panic but makes some sense. Saw a lady sneeze in a supermarket. Caused a stampede of shopping carts pivoting and darting away.
