There is no objection to a gradual opening of sectors and a gradual lifting of curfew hours, and Friday total lockdowns while complying to health measures.

Bdour said that when infection rates decreased in other countries, sectors reopened and individuals began to ‘live’ with the virus normally.

Common trends show a typical pandemic curve to rise steeply, stabilize then begin a decline due to the nature of virus behaviors.
