Following the gradual ease of lockdown, residents of Ado-Ekiti, and some other major towns in Ekiti State on Tuesday defied government’s directives on the mandatory use of face mask and social distancing.
Apparently worried by the perceived nonchalant attitudes being exhibited towards the preventive guidelines, the Ekiti State Government said it could restore fresh total lockdown if the guidelines were not observed and there was spike in the number of coronavirus cases. “As of now, Ekiti has nine active cases and we are not happy with the ways social distancing, use of sanitizers, face masks and infra-red thermometers were being disobeyed in public places.
“But should our people refuse to abide by the protocols, we will be left with no other option than to return total lockdown to avert community spread,” the commissioner said.
