The Federal Government has announced that anyone found moving
about without a facemask will be prosecuted.
This was disclosed in a document by the Presidential Task Force
(PTF) on COVID-19 on Friday, as part of the guidelines it released
for the implementation of the phased and gradual easing of the
lockdown.
The five-page document which was signed by the PTF Chairman and
Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, also
noted that anyone found with a temperature above 38ºC will be
mandated to return home.
“Anyone who presents a temperature of above 38ºC will be
mandated to return home and call NCDC for evaluation,” the
statement read in part.
It added: “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.”
President Muhammadu Buhari had ordered the lockdown in Lagos and
Ogun States, as well as the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), as
part of measures to curb the spread of the disease.
He, however, announced in his broadcast on Monday that there
would be a gradual easing of the lockdown in the three cities from
May 4.
The PTF has, however, urged Nigerians who do not have any
important reason to be out, to stay indoors as the fight against
the COVID-19 is yet to be over.
