As the coronavirus pandemic continues to rattle the markets and force the closure of businesses across the country, the Trump administration is reportedly looking at taking dramatic action to help limit the spread of the virus. One of those options could be a nationwide curfew.
According to CNN, there are currently active discussions within the administration to impose a limit on when non-essential businesses could be open. This would mean that places like malls, restaurants, and bars would need to shutter at a designated time. Other so-called essential businesses like grocery stores, health supply stores, and pharmacies would be allowed to remain open beyond the designated curfew.
The rule would look something similar to ones imposed by various European countries, a source says, though instead of being imposed by the U.S. government, it will be enforced at the local level and states will be asked to spearhead the efforts.
