Oyo State Government has reopened worship centres following the ravaging Coronavirus pandemic in the state with 25 per cent capacity order and public gathering to 25 persons from June 22 of this month.
This is part of the decisions of the state Task Force on Covid-19 after a two-and-a-half-hour meeting presided by its Chairman, Governor Seyi Makinde.
A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor Mr. Taiwo Adisa says that other decisions reached include the resumption of classes for Primary 6, JSS3 and SS3 students from Monday, June 29.
The statement also reveals that resumption of work by all category of workers at the state secretariat will commence from June 22, 2020.
According to the statement, the situation will be reviewed within the first two weeks while all worshippers are to compulsorily wear face masks.
It notes the schools are to observe the COVID-19 protocols as released by the Task Force by providing hand washing facilities in all schools, while all students are to compulsorily wear face masks.
Governor Makinde said Night clubs should remain shut even though the existing curfew, which used to run from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. has been aligned with that of the Federal government as the curfew now runs from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m.
The statement therefore reiterates that the task force will not mind shutting down everywhere if evidence emerges that the COVID-19 safety protocols are being violated and adds that the state government will intensify enlightenment campaigns to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
The statement also notes that the resumption order will not affect the tertiary institutions for now, as the Task Force would review their situation and determine their state of readiness.
