Lockdown Might Happen Soon As Coronavirus Cases Increase – Adamawa State

Adamawa State Government has come out to say that it is shocked with the increasing rate of COVID-19 spike in the state.

Governor Ahmadu Fintiri recently has his say via his Press Secretary, Mr Humwashi Wonoshiko.

According to him, the cases keep going up because of the clear compliance to COVID-19 restrictions, and the government will have to take necessary measures it deems fit to contain the spread of the deadly virus.

He then begged for cooperation and support from the public in its efforts to contain the new wave.

His words, “Any Club, Event centre or business premises so directed found contravening this rule will be closed down”.

“I am of the view that we should not wait, as happened earlier, for this virus to again spiral out of control before taking action. the world is facing a surge in Coronavirus cases and hospital admissions, We want people to follow the rules in order to avoid stricter measures which looks increasingly likely, Meanwhile, Government will ensure that all health facilities are prepared and ready to handle any eventualities.”
