Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, says that despite the gradual relaxation of the lockdown in Lagos, residents of the state who work in Lagos are not permitted to move out or into the state.
The governor stated this on Saturday on Facebook in the latest guidelines on the lockdown in Ogun.
Mr Abiodun had on Friday extended the lockdown in the state by one week, from May 4 to May 11, to make up for the state’s inability to begin the initial lockdown simulatenously with Lagos and the Federal Capital Territory.
The governor stressed that the use of face masks would, however, become mandatory for everyone in public places effective May 4.
He also referred to the order of President Muhammadu Buhari restricting interstate movement as part of measures to curb the spread of COVID-19.
“All schools remain closed, while students will continue with their DigiClass,” Abiodun said.
“All essential service personnel will continue to work despite the lockdown.
“All public religious gatherings remain banned. All pubs, clubs, stadia, public pools, spas, gyms, salons, etc. and all assemblies of more than 15 people remain banned. Restaurants may open on the approved days for take-out meals only.
“Burials and naming ceremonies are allowed but there must not be more than 15 people including the officiating ministers.
“There is a total ban on interstate travel (outside Ogun). If you work in Lagos or any other state but you live in Ogun State, you are not allowed to go to Lagos or any other state and return to Ogun.”
