The Governor of
Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, on Monday, issued new directives to reopen schools,
churches, and motor parks in the State as coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to
spread across the country.
The governor, in a
series of tweets on his official Twitter page, also warned that his government
would not hesitate to prosecute owners of banks, shopping malls, restaurants,
shops, and businesses that fail to enforce the wearing of face masks and social
distancing in their premises.
According to him,
all public and private schools, including places of worship and motor parks,
will be decontaminated.
“All public and
private schools will be decontaminated before schools open. Churches and motor
parks will also be decontaminated,” Wike tweeted.
“This issue of
COVID- 19 is real, and the government will not hesitate to seal up and
prosecute owners of banks, shopping malls, restaurants, shops, business places
or offices that fail to enforce social distancing and the wearing of face masks
in their premises.
“The Decontamination
Team does not compromise standards but put in your best to ensure that the
entire state is decontaminated,” he added.
Meanwhile, the
number of COVID-19 cases in Nigeria as of today is 10162, according to the
NCDC.
