The operations of Football Viewing Centres in Ondo State have been banned to stop the spread of coronavirus. This is one of many other stringent measures put in place by the Governor; Oluwarotimi Akeredolu; to curb the spread of the CoronaVirus while addressing newsmen at the Government House in Akure.
Akeredolu who decried the sudden increase in Covid-19 cases in the state from nineteen to forty three, noted that the 7pm to 7am curfew was still in place and enjoined residents to come together and take total control against covid-19 pandemic.
The steps approved by the Ondo State Government as it’s invigorated approach to reverse the threat of community transmission of the spread of the pandemic are as listed below in the Governor’s address:
• All residents are encouraged to practise, more than before, social and physical distancing, use of facemasks, handwashing and travel restriction.
• All Premiership football viewing centres are hereby banned from operations until further notice.
• All religious organisations are to further ensure stringent implementation of the agreed guidelines for worship.
• All earlier regulations about operations of the main and community markets will be revisited in which case law enforcement agencies and the Governor’s Task Force will ensure full enforcement.
• All members of the public who had patronised the fairly used fabric and shoes stalls at Oja Oba market in Akure, where our 43rd case was picked up, are advised in their own interest and for the good of our society, to present themselves to our health facilities for immediate testing and proper care, before it is too late.
