The Ogun State Government has suspended weekend COVID-19 related lockdown in the state.  Governor Dapo Abiodun made this disclosure on Friday.

He said the decision to lift the weekend lockdown was due to the re-opening of worship centres for activities. He however said the limitation on social gatherings not exceeding 20 people at any place is still in force. Worship centres are required to conduct their services for a period not exceeding one and a half hours per service. Where there more than one services, an interval of one and a half hours is mandated between the services.

“Let me say that now that our worship centres are open for activities, the restrictions on weekends are lifted, but the limitation on social gatherings not exceeding 20 people at any place at the same time is still very much in force.

“Observation of dusk-to-dawn curfew as directed by the Presidential Task Force (PTF) i.e. between 10.00pm and 4.00am daily remains in place,” he said.
