In an effort to slow the spread of coronavirus, the Mobile Police Department is enforcing the curfew order, which is from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. daily. During this time, everyone is to stay home and travel is prohibited. Police began enforcement Saturday, April 4 by giving verbal warnings. However, curfew violators could now face a fine.

Today, the Mobile City Council approved the fines for curfew violation. For the first offense, curfew violators will be fined $100. The fine is $200 for the second offense.

The curfew does not apply to public safety workers, public health workers, utilities workers, government employees or contractors necessary to maintain or restore services, persons seeking emergency medical treatment, credentialed media staff, those who travel through the city, and persons experiencing homelessness.
