   “The Oyo state COVID-19 Taskforce wishes to alert the public that the ban on religious gathering remains in force in the state.

 

 ” The 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew earlier imposed in the state as a result of the ravaging pandemic, will also remain in force until further notice.

 

"This is because the taskforce is awaiting a risk, situation analysis report by a team of experts, earlier commissioned to do so.


“The report is expected at the end of the week and it is only after the report has been analysed by the task force that it can be in a position to make further clarifications,” he said.
