Ondo State government on Monday ordered partial closure of markets across the state as part of measures to stem the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The directive excluded life saving items such as food, water and medicines.
A statement by the Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Donald Ojogo, said: “it has been observed however, that residents have flagrantly disobeyed this directive which is a potent measure to avoid the spread of COVID-19 pandemic.
Compelled by this act, government has therefore placed a total ban on all markets across Ondo State with effect from Tuesday, March 31.
The statement said the ban was irrespective of any item, stressing that” for emphasis, all markets must remain closed until further notice”.
