The Ekiti state government has directed worship centres in the state to resume services from Friday, July 17, in line with the agreement reached by the state government and leaders of religious organisations in the state.
Worshippers and religious leaders were urged to ensure “full compliance with the regulations regarding worship centres, which includes social distancing of 6-feet between worshippers, hand washing and face masks.”
Governor Kayode Fayemi who made the announcement in a statewide broadcast on Tuesday, June 30, also announced plans of reopening schools in the state from July 20.
Fayemi said “However, this might be in phases starting with students in terminal classes SS3, JSS3 and Primary 6 to prepare for their examinations. Other classes will be gradually absorbed as schools meet all requirements to accommodate them safely and responsibly. A certificate of Readiness showing that a school has adhered to all the conditions required for school reopening will be issued to all schools before they can reopen.”
