Cross River State Governor, Ben Ayade, has extended the initial two weeks stay-at-home order issued to civil servants in the state by one week.
Special Adviser, Media and Publicity to the governor, Christian Ita, announced the extension in a statement on Monday.
Ita directed civil servants in the state to stay away from work for a further week except those on essential services which include medical personnel, paramilitary and revenue officers.
“The extension is in furtherance of Ayade’s determination to ensure that CrossRiverians stay safe from the global pandemic.
“Government’s concerted effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19 to Cross River is also fully on course.
“Governor Ayade, therefore, appeals to all CrossRiverians to continue to adopt and adhere to all the preventive measures already in place in the state.
“The governor has promised to do everything humanly possible to ensure that Cross River remains COVID-19 free,” he said.
