COVID- 19 : Keep Social Distance to curb the menace

Worshippers in churches and mosques across Plateau must stand at least two meters from each other, the state government has said, in efforts to prevent the spread of Covid-19.⠀
⠀
Centres of worship will also have to provide running water, soap and sanitizers at their entrances so that worshippers can wash their hands.⠀
⠀
Motor parks, markets, hotels and supermarkets have also been urged to maintain the two-meter distance and the provision of running water, soaps and sanitizers at their entrances.⠀
⠀
The resolution was reached at an enlightenment session between the state government and critical stakeholders in the state such as religious leaders, medical experts, traditional rulers, among others.⠀
⠀
The essence of the session was to take precautionary measure against the outbreak of the coronavirus disease in the country.⠀
⠀
The directive also restricts marriage and burial ceremonies to family members and a crowd of not more than 50 persons—still maintaining the two-metre spacing.⠀
⠀
Anniversaries and cultural festivals are suspended.⠀
⠀
The government advises the public to avoid crowded social gatherings and use face masks.⠀
⠀
Buses, taxis and tricycles are mandated to have hand sanitizers.
