Ekiti State Government has noted with grave concern the spate of upsurge in the spread of second wave of Covid-19 pandemic ravaging the entire globe, most especially the recent development concerning the pandemic in most states of the federation including our dear state, Ekiti.
The State has therefore decided to tighten all loose ends and guard against the spread of the virus by urging all Ekiti residents to comply with COVID-19 protocols during the yuletide season.
To this effect, the government has decided to cancel some of the conventional celebrations and festivities associated with Christmas and New Year period such as Carol Service and Children’s Party where gathering of people are usually involved.
However, the usual New Year Interdenominational Prayer Program will still hold but in strict accordance with the COVID-19 protocols.
Those organizing parties and ceremonies are therefore enjoined to always liaise with the State COVID-19 Response Resources Mobilization Committee before embarking on such events.
The Government of Ekiti State will continue to do all within its reach in ensuring that the dreaded COVID-19 pandemic is curtailed and eradicated from Ekiti Land. The use of face masks has now become mandatory to all and sundry while anyone caught treating this directive with impunity may be sanctioned accordingly.
For further clarifications, please contact the Office of The Secretary to the State Government, the Ekiti State COVID-19 Response Committee or the Commissioner for Information and Values Orientation.
