NEW YORK—New York City is lifting its curfew spurred by riots and looting amid protests against police brutality ahead of schedule, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Sunday morning.
The 8 p.m. citywide curfew, New York’s first in decades, had been set to remain in effect through at least Sunday, with the city planning to lift it at the same time it enters the first phase of reopening after more than two months of shutdowns because of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as novel coronavirus.
