The ‘no mask, no movement’ policy of the state government is still in force and applicable to the civil servants, the statement said, adding that “all returning civil servants are to receive nose masks from the COVID-19 Response Task Force through their respective permanent secretaries”.

The statement said that while mass gatherings of all kinds such as worships, weddings, burials remain prohibited, residents would be allowed into public places such as markets, malls, sports, and banks if they use appropriate mask. “All nose masks to be used in the state must be locally made, with the place of origin clearly marked.

“The sale of masks made by the Cross River State Garment Factory is prohibited. Masks are to be distributed free of charge,” the statement said. Governor Ayade recently stirred controversy by saying people with face mask need not practice social distancing as they are already protected from contacting the coronavirus.Cross River state has no confirmed case of coronavirus.

Look let's be practicable here, life has to go on...Nigerians cannot WFH 'cause the machinery for that is not in place. Lockdown is not for Africa. Let's wear masks and gloves...practice basic hygiene of handwashing, then the aged and sick can be advised to stay at home...

Some leaders should be held responsible if people die.
