notes: On 25 March 2020, the South Sudanese government introduced a partial daytime lockdown, and a nationwide night-time curfew, in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Schools were closed and restrictions on internal and external flights introduced, along with quarantining measures. Military re-training and integration exercises (required under the terms of the peace agreement) were also suspended. On 22 April, lockdown measures and border closures (some of which had been intended to last six weeks) were extended indefinitely. On 7 May, lockdown measures were eased in spite of rising cases of coronavirus, specifically with regards to transport (and air travel) and a relaxing of the curfew.
