Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has warned Lagosians against defying the 12 am to 4 am curfew imposed by the Federal Government to curtail the spread of the coronavirus disease.
Sanwo-Olu said this on Thursday while responding to questions from journalists at the State House in Marina, Lagos.
The Governor gave the warning ahead of Crossover Services that will hold in various churches in the state on December 31, 2020.
He also urged religious leaders to ensure their followers observe the protocols put in place to curb the spread of the coronavirus as the country battles the second wave of the virus.

“All persons feeling symptoms associated with the Coronavirus must immediately isolate themselves and contact any of our Public Testing Facilities, where a Test will be arranged free of charge.
“Please do not assume that you have a case of malaria or other illness. The default position should be to test for Covid and rule this out, due to the easy transmissibility of the disease.
” Persons who have tested positive to the Coronavirus must be open and honest with anyone they may have interacted with while infected so that effective tracing can be done and exposed persons can take appropriate measures to self-isolate and not further spread the disease.
We must not hide our status from the people we have been in contact with.
” All non-essential travel plans, whether local or international, should be suspended or cancelled at this time, until further notice.
” Passengers arriving in Nigeria from abroad must ensure that they submit themselves for their post-arrival testing as advised, seven days after arrival in the country. Doing otherwise, puts the health and well-being of the loved ones they came to visit in jeopardy.
We must all do everything in our power to protect the elderly and the medically vulnerable among us. This might mean postponing that long-planned trip home.
