There was an 8pm curfew with emergency alerts broadcast to everyone’s cellphone. You were only allowed to be out if you were heading home. I was out at the time when the alert was issued, and got gassed along with hundreds of others. There are news articles about this.

- majormajor 5y agoI think here you are mixing up pandemic-related WFH and protest-related curfews from a much shorter period of time in 2020 (under a week, where I was). WFH - what the article is about - and pandemic restrictions were much less aggressively enforced.
- jdavis703 5y agoAh you’re correct. There was a separate 11pm curfew that came a few weeks later from the health authorities. But the 8pm curfew was from from law enforcement. Regardless, of whether the curfew is 8pm or 11pm or enforced with rubber bullets or official letterhead, it’s still restrictive.
