over suspected cases of Coronavirus (COVID-19), has been lifted by the
Kogi state government.
Governor Yahaya Bello who made the announcement at the Government
House in Lokoja on Friday June 5, said the decision of lifting the
lockdown in the local government area was reached after samples which
were tested came back negative.
The Governor who insisted that Kogi state still remains a
COVID-19-free state, urged residents of the state to observe protocols
of the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the Nigeria Centre for
Disease Control (NCDC) to curb the spread of the disease.
This is coming days after the NCDC announced that two Coronavirus
cases were confirmed in the state. Dino Melaye also confirmed this by
revealing that he knows one of the patients.
