Kwara State government has imposed 6:00pm to 6:00am curfew in the state till further notice.
The decision by the state government is to curtailed the spread of covid-19.
Governor Abdullrazak disclosed this in statement made available to pressmen in Illorn the State capital when he announced that six of the patient tested positive to covid-19 has been tested negative twice and are ready to be discharge from the hospital today.
He said “I am glad to announce that six of our patients, all health workers, have twice tested negative and are ready for discharge today. We give glory to God Almighty for this feat and we sincerely commend our frontline workers who made this possible. Our remaining patients are all stable and in high spirits, and we pray God Almighty to grant us success in the management of the cases.
It’s important to note that infection rate is still very high across the country and, as such, we can’t afford to let down our guards. For this reason, effective from tomorrow, Monday May 4, there will be statewide curfew between 6p.m. and 6.a.m. until further notice. This is part of the agreements of the Northern Governors Forum (NGF) to prevent non-essential and unauthorised movement that could spike infection rate. Also, in addition to the measures earlier announced on Friday May 1, the government hereby bans travels/movement from one local government to the other. This is especially true of local governments with clear borders.
We are not in anyway out of the danger of this pandemic. I enjoin you all to stay at home if you can, and if you must go out, you must use a face mask.
May God protect us all.”
