The Kaduna State Government has imposed a 24 -hour curfew on the State beginning from midnight of Thursday, March 26 as measures taken to curtail the spread of Coronavirus.
In a broadcast by the State Deputy Governor, Hadiza Balarabe, the move became necessary because there is no significant and consistent adherence to the ban on large gatherings and closure of shops and markets as there were also reports of non-compliance with the ban on motorcycle taxis and tricycles.
The government says no office, event centre, market, shop or business of any sort or place of worship is allowed to open as only persons providing essential services are exempted from the curfew.
The Government said Kaduna State has been declared a public health area as it does not have the human resources and health facilities to cope with the Coronavirus pandemic should it spread through towns and villages of the State.
