The UN-recognised government in Libya is extending the curfew to combat the coronavirus for another 10 days in the areas it controls.
The government based in the capital, Tripoli, has said that the curfew will run from 20:00 until 06:00 local time with a 24-hour curfew on Friday and Saturday.
In the east of Libya, a rival administration in the city of Benghazi has been imposing similar lockdown measures.
The latest official figures say there have been almost 500 cases in the country, with 10 deaths - but the real figure is likely to be higher.
