Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has advised residents to be wary of persons coming from states with high coronavirus cases such as Lagos and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

He urged residents to have any of such visitors isolated for 14 days upon arrival in the state, noting that failure to do so would increase the number of cases recorded in Rivers.

According to the statement, the governor stressed the need for caution as interstate travels and domestic flights resume in the country. “Let me, therefore, appeal to residents to be cautious of relations, friends, business/social partners and visitors from such States and relate with them in conformity with the established protocols against the spread of this virus, including having them isolated for 14 days.”

“Bars, cinemas, viewing centres, restaurants and related businesses shall remain closed until further notice.
