Cross River State Governor, Ben Ayade, has directed all categories of civil servants in the state to return to work on Monday, May 4.
The governor had two weeks ago recalled only civil servants from grade level 10 and above back to work.
His new directive was, however, made known via a statement on Sunday by his spokesman, Christian Ita.
Mr Ayade, in the statement, reminded the returning civil servants that the “no mask, no movement” order was still in full force and must be observed by them.
“Consequently, all the returning civil servants are therefore, to wear nose mask as they resume in their various offices,” he said.
Ayade said other restrictions, such as border closures and ban on large gatherings — social or religious — remain in place.
He added that the measures would be reviewed subsequently.
The governor had imposed restrictions weeks ago to contain the spread of the coronavirus. However, he had more recently called for the re-opening of the nation’s economy on strict terms of use of face mask in public places among others.
