In order to curtail the spread of deadly COVID-19 virus, the Federal Government has proclaimed that anybody found moving about without a Face Mask will be asked to return home and will be prosecuted.
Presidential Task Force, PTF, on COVID-19 disclosed this as part of the guidelines it released for the implementation of the phased and gradual easing of the lockdown.
Mustapha stated that:
Anyone found with the temperature of above 38ºC would be mandated to return home and call NCDC for evaluation, and anyone caught violating the curfew in a non-emergency situation will be prosecuted
“Anyone who presents a temperature of above 38ºC will be mandated to return home and call NCDC for evaluation,” the statement read in part.
“Anyone without a face mask/covering will be asked to return home and will be prosecuted.
“Anyone violating the curfew in a non-emergency situation will be prosecuted. Anyone attending a gathering of more than 20 people will be prosecuted.
“Any member of the public who violates the ban on inter-state movement as outlined in this guideline will be prosecuted,” it added.
