The Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has lifted the ban on weekend lockdown which influenced the opening of the worship centres for activities, amongst others.
Abiodun, however, said the limitation on social gatherings not exceeding 20 people at any place is still in force.
He said, “Let me say that now that our worship centres are open for activities, the restrictions on weekends are lifted, but the limitation on social gatherings not exceeding 20 people at any place at the same time is still very much in force.
“Observation of dusk-to-dawn curfew as directed by the Presidential Task Force (PTF), that is, between 10.00pm and 4.00am daily.
“Wearing of face masks in the public is compulsory and failure to do so is punishable.”
The Governor also said only one passenger is still allowed for motorcycles and two passengers only for tricycles, while taxi cabs and buses still have 60 percent limitation on their carrying capacity and non-adherence attracts sanction.
“The COVID-19 Task Force in markets must continue to ensure physical distancing, availability of hand-washing facilities and use of gloves and face masks for traders. Decontamination will continue in our markets and other public places,” he stated.
