The Osun State Government has announced the closure of its borders as part of measures to check the spread of Coronavirus Disease in the state.
Wole Oyebamiji, the Secretary to the State Government, who made the announcement on Friday in Osogbo, said the closure would take effect from Saturday.
Oyebamiji said all major markets as well as shopping malls would also be shut, with the exception of pharmaceutical, foods and medical needs outlets.
He also said government was limiting the boarding capacity of vehicles operating within the state as part of ongoing measures to curb the spread of COVID-19 in the state.
The SSG said motorcycles would henceforth be allowed to carry only one passenger, while mini-buses would carry only four passengers with one passenger in front, one in the middle and two at the back seat.
Oyebamiji advised all returnees from the United Kingdom, United States and other high risk countries, who returned to Osun State in the last two weeks, to call the state’s emergency number 293 for instructions on how to stay safe.
