STARKVILLE, Miss. (WTVA) - Supervisors in Oktibbeha County approved a 30-day curfew to combat the spread of the coronavirus.

According to the Starkville Daily News, the Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the curfew Monday morning.

The curfew is from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m., in addition to Mississippi’s stay-at-home order that is in effect.

Violators face a $1,000 fine.

Oktibbeha County Sheriff Steve Gladney said the curfew would mainly be used to address groups and people who continue to congregate after being warned by deputies, the newspaper reports.

It would also not apply to those with a legitimate reason to be out during the curfew hours, including emergency repair workers.

While some cool mornings are again in store for the weekend, afternoons start to warm up a bit, so plan on dressing in layers if you're heading to the MSU or Bama games, because you'll need to utilize them in different ways.
