Apprehension as stay-at-home order over COVID-19 may be extended

, lightly that government might extend the on-going lockdown of the Federal Capital Territory , Lagos and the Ogun States if residents continued to violate the stay-at-home order so as to stem the spread of coronavirus. Mohammed, who dropped the hint of a possible extension of the lockdown, hinged his warning on the failure of the citizenry to comply with the stay-at-home order.

In a conversation with The Guardian, state’s Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr. Seye Oladejo, commended Lagos State Government for its courageous, inspiring, professional, and reassuring response to the coronavirus scourge in the state, but was quick to add that such efforts could only yield necessary results if the people adhered to the stay-at-home order by the government.

Recalling what Lagos State Government has done to contain the disease before the stay-at-home directives, Oladejo said, “Before the report of the Italian index case on February 22, 2020, the government had set necessary machinery in motion to protect the lives of its citizens in case of a full outbreak. The state government reactivated its bio-banking and bio-security laboratory at the Infectious Diseases Laboratory in Yaba.

According to him, “For a country with the kind of weak health system that we have, our only hope of beating the Covid-19 pandemic is to contain it before it gets out of hand. That is by social distancing. The most effective way to effect social distancing is to stay home. Spokesman of the party, Mr. Taofik Gani, flayed the state government for adopting a propagandist approach to the so-called efforts to ameliorate citizens’ pains in the face of lockdown.

PDP, however, commended all the private donors just as it appealed to the people to observe the necessary precautions to contain the disease from spreading. According to her, “I will advise citizens to continue in abiding by the measure, while asking the government to urgently improve on its palliative measure, especially for our people in the informal sector. There is a limit to how long people can be kept indoors without food and other means of livelihood. This may bring about negative reactions, which will end up defeating the whole essence of the lockdown.

Make them no try am. What are we eating or they want us to starve to death then dey say covid-19 killed him. I have been out of a job for 3yrs. How do i cope?
