curfew

Restaurants must close by 9:30 p.m. to get people home by 10 p.m. under a new set of rules designed to block the spread of COVID-19.

New Bedford is now under a city-wide curfew four outdoor activities on city property because of concerns of Eastern Equine Encephalitis in the area.

The Whaling City Festival may still live on after a discussion between Mayor Jon Mitchell and the festival's planning committee yesterday.

The age old "curfew" topic came up again with the New Bedford City Council. On the surface, I would tend to agree that curfews, in general, can violate one's basic rights.

The New Bedford City Council voted to draft an ordinance allowing police to enforce curfews in high crime "hot spots" in the city even as some councilors expressed reservations about whether the policy would be constitutional.
