enforce social distancing and the compulsory use of face masks as measures for curbing the COVID-19 pandemic in the state.
The state Governor, Udom Emmanuel, during a media chat on Monday, said total lockdown in the state would not be relaxed until COVID-19 situation in the state improves and contained to a certain level, assuring that he will brief the people soon. The statement reads in parts, “The markets – Akpan Andem and Itam – have been closed by the government but the traders have been allowed trade on adjoining roads.
“It was also observed that there were toll collectors going about both markets to collect tolls and levies at a time like this. We, therefore, call on the government to return the traders to their stalls in the markets and enforce social distancing and the compulsory use of face mask.”
Of course, it is a better measure to mitigate the starvation in the fight against deadly COVID-19 pandemic by allowing traders to continue their business activities
