Covid-19: Lockdown extended indefinitely
Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau has extended the total lockdown in the state from Sunday midnight until further notice.
He made this known Thursday as he partially relaxed the existing restriction order in the state by three days to enable residents prepare for the total lockdown
Lalong, who chaired the state’s Covid-19 Task Force, had last Wednesday declared a total lockdown from midnight on Sunday, April 9 to Wednesday 11 pm of April 15, 2020.
The state backed the declaration up by establishing 10 mobile courts meant to ensure enforcement and compliance with the directives.
It said the move was aimed at protecting the citizens from the coronavirus pandemic and also ensuring that the entire state is fumigated.
“The total lockdown will be relaxed from midnight of Thursday 23rd April 2020 to 12th Midnight of Sunday 26th April 2020 to enable people to restock their homes,” he said.
“Thereafter, the total lockdown will resume on Monday 27th April 2020.
“However, details of the next phase of the lockdown will be issued in due course,” he explained.
