Philippine capital to impose night-time curfew over virus

Manila will impose a night-time curfew in the city of 12 million, officials said Saturday, as the Philippines steps up efforts to curb the spread of the new coronavirus. The measure takes effect Sunday along with President Rodrigo Duterte's order to seal off the capital from the rest of the country which has recorded 111 virus cases, including eight deaths. Mayors of Manila's 17 local government areas are also pushing for shopping malls -- a popular source of entertainment in the country -- to be temporarily shuttered.
