COVID-19: Ilorin residents violate social distancing, face masks directives
Visits by DAILY POST to commercial banks and major markets in Ilorin metropolis, showed that majority of the customers did not observe strictly the social distancing and face masks wearing as part of the safety protocols spelt out by the state government in the efforts to reopen the economy and curb the community transmission of the deadly virus.
However, few well-established shops, hospitals and petrol filling stations provided hand-washing facilities and sanitizers for customers and patients. Similarly, taxi cabs and Keke Napep operators who exceeded the number of passengers they are allowed to carry by the guidelines were stopped at checkpoints by security operatives and compelled to comply with the government’s directive.
The state government had on Friday, warned that violations against the relaxed COVID-19 restrictions order will be resisted and punished; as it made wearing of face masks and social distancing compulsory safety protocols to be observed by all residents.
