Obiano announced the relaxation of the lockdown in a state-wide broadcast on Saturday evening.

He stated that while intercity movement restriction has been lifted, all boundary points into the state will remain closed to travellers.

According to him, “With regards to religious groups, leaders of the church should ensure that worshippers comply with the standards protocols of COVID-19 which includes wearing of face masks to church, use of hand sanitizers, social distancing and regular washing of hands.

“Church leaders should decide how best to conduct mass and service in strict adherence to the principles of social distancing to ensure that worshippers are not endangered. Please note that there should be no crusades and vigils for the time being.”
