Shortly after the disclosure of the decisions to the public, fresh measures were equally put in place to complement Government’s efforts.

A statement by the Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Donald Ojogo ,however, said, “After careful assessment of the situation nationwide in line with our index status in respect of COVID-19, the Ondo State Government wishes to inform the general public that such measures and steps taken so far are still in force.
