Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State yesterday, imposed an indefinite 7.pm to 7.am curfew in the state to check the spread of the deadly COVID-19.
Akeredolu announced the imposition in Akure at a press briefing at the Government House.
Our source reports that a third positive case was confirmed by the state government on Monday.
He explained that the third case was not a member of the NYSC  as earlier believed, “but an employee of the Nigerian Army Barracks, who served the nation as a medical practitioner in the same facility in the year 2017 and was retained. “
Akeredolu further explained that the third positive case came in contact with the index case, an army officer, while treating him as a suspected case in the clinic at the army base.
The governor also said reports showed that business owners, especially beer parlours, had disobeyed the stay- at-home order, hence warranting the curfew.
“There is the need for effective measure of containment, investigation, enforcement and control and government will not shy away from its duty to ensure same.
“To this end, I have directed further sterner measures to enforce compliance to these regulations,” he said.
