The Lagos State Government, on Friday, advised transport
operators to always check the temperature of commuters.
But the practicality of this remains to be seen in a state
of 20 million people where a number of the population believes coronavirus is a
ruse.
On Friday, the Ministry of Information, led by the Director
of Public Enlightenment, Toyin Adeni-Awosika, interacted with members of the
public.
The public advocacy was done as a measure to curtail the second wave of COVID-19.
The official appealed to transporters to stop flouting
physical distancing protocols relating to the number of passengers allowed in
their vehicles.
NAN reports that the sensitisation team engaged citizens at
markets, motor mechanic workshops, garages and parks at Agege, Ojota, Ikeja,
Ogba, Alausa Secretariat and environs.
They addressed the people and obtained feedback. Education
materials such as flyers and posters were distributed.
Adeni-Awosika stressed the need for adherence to guidelines
stipulated by the government.
The director noted that authorities were concerned about the
flagrant disregard by residents.
“People mingle without adherence to physical distancing,
face masks are not worn in public places, while hand sanitisers are absent in
most public and private institutions.
“Such practices expose individuals to COVID-19. Everyone
must take responsibility to stop the spread of this deadly virus by obeying all
guidelines. COVID -19 is real”, he said.
