    All high-density gatherings that would bring together 50 or more persons in places such as social clubs, halls, cinemas, night clubs, restaurants, cafes, and sport arenas have been banned by the Ogun State Government for the next 30 days.

    This measure according to a statement signed on behalf of the state government by Chief Press Secretary to the Governor of Ogun State Kunle Somorin said this measure is in addition to measures so far taken to ramp up its efforts to contain the spread of the novel COVID-19.

    Find below the thrust of the statement:

    “Immediate ban of all high-density gatherings that would bring together 50 or more persons in the same place, such as social clubs, halls, cinemas, night clubs, restaurants, cafes, and sport arenas. This measure will be in effect for the next 30 days in the first instance.

    A statement issued on Wednesday said this restriction has to be enforced without prejudice to people’s fundamental rights to association and movement, because safety of our people and their welfare are priorities that cannot be toyed with. The Government will continue to engage all the stakeholders, including our religious leaders to sensitise the populace on the need to maintain social distancing and collective effort to combat this pandemic.

    The Government will continue the surveillance initiatives and intensify sensitisation on COVID-19. This is more so given the peculiarity of its location as the Nation’s Gateway State and its industrial capital. Our epidemiologists and other health workers are working round the clock with Federal agencies and international development agencies to stop the spread of coronavirus.

    In view of the recent confirmed cases in the country, Governor Dapo Abiodun reassures the populace that no stone will be left unturned to ensure that the state is prepared at all times to respond appropriately. He further encourages people to maintain a high level of suspicion and report any suspected case to the appropriate authorities.
