The Ekiti state government said it is reintroducing all COVID-19 protocols in the state. This is in view of the increasing number of cases recorded in the last month.
The Ekiti State government on Tuesday banned all social, religious, and political gatherings exceeding 50 people in the state.
The state government also directed that all gatherings should be held with full compliance with the Covid-19 protocols including hand washing, use of face masks and sanitizers.
The state’s Commissioner for Health and Human Services, Dr. Oyebanji Filani, disclosed this during a chat with reporters in Ado Ekiti.
He disclosed that Ekiti State recorded 180 cases between July and August, a situation he said necessitated the new measures.
While charging residents to abide by the new guidelines, he said the state’s task force enforcement team will be moving around to ensure strict compliance with guidelines.
