Ekiti State Government has announced that the 8pm to 6am curfew it imposed on the state following the second wave of COVID-19, and other restrictions, had been relaxed.

The Commissioner for Information and Values Orientation, Mr Akin Omole, who disclosed this in a statement in Ado Ekiti on Monday, said the curfew would now be from 10pm to 6am.

The commissioner said restrictions earlier placed on the number of religious services had also been lifted.

He, however, warned that permits must be obtained from the State COVID-19 Taskforce for funerals, weddings, birthdays, and other large social gatherings at event centres, including hotels, pavilions, fields before the events can hold.

“All activities limited to between one and two hours maximum period are encouraged to minimise infection risk.

“Government workers on grade Levels 12 and below are still excused from work until further notice,” the statement said.

Omole explained that the decision to reopen schools in the state was taken to avoid the negative impacts on child health, education, and development.

He added that reopening schools would also enable students to complete their studies and continue to the next level without avoidable additional burdens on family income and the overall economy of the people.

The commissioner emphasised that the government would not hesitate to close down any private or public school who failed to comply with the directives.
