And while Independence day will see a new leader of the opposition, the day after independence will see new public health regulations to contain the spread of the COVID virus.
Rumours were wild today about a drastic curfew reduction and a strict Sunday lockdown.
We have confirmed that after the news tonight - at about 7:15 there will be a statement from the Prime Minister - outlining these new measures.
What will be in that statement? Well, what we do know from our sources is this: there will be new regulations, but they should only come into effect after the 21st September. Strong reports say it will include a 7:00 pm Monday to Saturday curfew - and restriction of movement of Sunday to essential services.
We'll know in about an hour.
