A few minutes ago, at my third broadcast to the citizens and residents of Delta State on #COVIDー19, I announced that after marathon meetings with the Central Committee on Managing/Containing the Coronavirus Pandemic, we have made several far-reaching decisions.

1. From Friday evening at 6pm, Asaba Airport will be closed to traffic.

2. At 6am on Sunday, March 29th, all land borders into and out of Delta State are to be shut.

3. From Wednesday, April 1st, all citizens and residents of Delta State are to stay at home and all businesses — malls, supermarkets, markets and shops are to remain closed.

4. Food sellers are to conduct their businesses within the precinct of their homes and are required to strictly adhere to the social distancing rules.

5. All our citizens and residents are advised that there will be increased security presence on the streets and land borders to ensure strict compliance with these directives that are meant to keep us all safe and healthy.
