“The government discovered that in order to curb the deadly disease, the best bet is to lock up everything. This has happened in form of restriction of movement, except on essential Service, the order was complied with in Ekiti state, even the 2 index cases have been discharged
“The lockdown has controlled further spread of the virus. At the initial stage, when rate of compliance was low, the governor set up enforcement Task force, comprising security agencies to monitor enforcement and compliance, this has been greatly achieved, this week, the governor relaxed the restriction order, between 6am- to 2pm only on Tuesday and Thursday, for people to have a bit of freedom for essential things
“All the measures and sensitization stipulated by government,is not to inflict pains on People but rather for health benefits of all and society at large”
