The Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID19 has released the
guidelines for the ease of the lockdown in Lagos, Ogun and the FCT which
will come into effect next week Monday May 4.

Briefing newsmen on the guidelines for the ease of the lockdown, the
National coordinator of the Presidential taskforce on COVID19, Sani
Aliyu, said Interstate travels remain banned except for essential
services. For intrastate activities, banks are to open between the hours
of 8pm to 2pm while adhering to all the COVID-19 prevention guidelines.
.

Schools are remained closed. Restaurants are to remain closed but can do
home deliveries. Concerts and Recreational activities stay suspended
for now.

”For government offices, government staff will be allowed to resume
from the 4 of May but it will be based on specific grade levels and
specific days so that we can reduce the amount of congestion that we
might have in our government offices and we will be discussing further
with state governments to make sure that we have a common approach to
this.

Banks will be allowed to open but there will be restriction in the
opening hours to between 8am to 2pm and together with all the other
preventive measures I have already mentioned.

In addition to this, from the point of agriculture and rural
development, companies involved in food processing can commence
operation. In construction sites, critical road will be allowed but
waivers will be provided by state governments to enable movement.

For the manufacturing and pharmaceutical industries, we will
encourage shift work and limiting staff to only 30 to 50 per cent to
maintain social distancing and pharmacy shops may remain open
overnight.” Sani said
