The State government of Osun, Saturday, announced that all public (religious and social) gatherings in the State under any banner or organisation, are banned.
“This in effect means there will be no church services tomorrow, March 22, 2020,” a statement by the Secretary to the State Government Prince Wole Oyebamiji said.
“This is in reaction to the increasing number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 infected individuals, and its gradual spread to other states of the country.
“The State Government of Osun had initially announced a ban on public gatherings having 50 or more people, but today reviewed the position following the announcement of more confirmed cases by the Federal Ministry of Health.
“We urge citizens and residents of the State of Osun to adhere strictly to this new directive. Stay safe.”
