Already there have been many complaints about the restrictive curfew hours, as many residents have stated that the window time between them coming off from work and heading home gives them no time to shop and get emergency items for their family while some have said it makes the crowd situations worse.

Entertainers in the music industry have personally spoken out against the curfew hours, as well as many others however, the Prime Minister has accepted no forms of negotiations where the timing is concerned.
