COVID-19 Lockdown: Markets To Open Between 10:00am and 2:00pm Daily – FG

The Federal Government has announced that all markets in states where
a lockdown was imposed (Lagos, FCT and Ogun) will be allowed to open
between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm daily.

The National Co-ordinator of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19,
Aliyu Sani, said this on Wednesday during a briefing by members of the
task force.

For markets, only shops and stalls selling food and groceries
shall be allowed to open to customers between the hours of 10:00 am and
2:00 pm,” he said.

Meanwhile, for supermarkets and food stores, their opening hours must be
between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm and all owners and managers have been
warned to screen staff and customers before entry.

On arrival, all staff must be screened for a high temperature and
all those found to have a high body temperature above 38, will be
denied entry and advised to seek immediate medical attention.


“All deliveries for supplies and products for these supermarkets
must be made between the hours of 5:00 am and 9:00 am,” Sani added.

He further stated that at any point in time, the total number of
customers inside each store must not exceed a third of the store’s total
capacity.

After their closure at 4:00 pm, Sani urged shop owners to ensure that
all shelves, aisles and stores are cleaned and disinfected and by 6:00
pm, staff are conveyed back to their respective homes.
