TUCSON, Ariz. — The Tucson City Council has voted to implement a mandatory curfew, from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m., starting Friday, Dec. 4 through Wednesday, Dec. 23.

The unanimous vote came at an emergency meeting Tuesday called by Mayor Regina Romero, who first proposed the curfew to the council as officials look for new ways to slow the rapid rise of COVID-19 cases

“After consulting with public health experts and local hospitals, we have determined that additional steps are necessary to control the surge of COVID-19 cases,” Mayor Romero said in a news release Monday.

Romero's initial proposal was to start the curfew at 8 p.m., and begin immediately. The council voted to amend the measure to 10 p.m. starting Friday, giving small businesses some time to adjust.

Then a main cable broke in early November, leading the National Science Foundation to declare just weeks later that it planned to close the radio telescope because the damage was too great.

(CNN)The mysterious monolith discovered last week in a Utah desert just disappeared -- but it wasn't taken by aliens or government conspiracies. It was moved by another phenomenon: TikTokers.

Colorado adventure and outdoor lifestyle photographer Ross Bernards told CNN he saw the monolith being removed by a group of four last Friday night.

Bernards, who has about a decade of experience in hiking and navigating desserts, set out to capture photos of the world-famous monolith with a group of friends last Friday after determining its location earlier in the week.
