“In view of this, we are considering tougher measures to enforce compliance, stop the exportation of the disease to states that do not have it and minimize spread.” A national shutdown of the country looks imminent after the government announced different measures to curb a further spread of coronavirus.with a high prevalence of the virus. The government also suspended its visa on arrival policy on the same day.

Na now their day break.

I really appreciate your immense effort in combating this COVID-19, But I want to ask you a simple question here sir, with due respect sir, what other aid are you putting in place for the citizens since the FG is coming out with a STAY AT HOME policy.

More like states that currently have it (Covid -19 ) - Keep your Greek gift as we no want ya foreign import.

Only essential vehicles conveying foods, drugs and any life supporting items should be allowed to cross interstate.
