The Delta State Government has announced the extension of stay-at-home order in the state by 14 days.
Governor Ifeanyi Okowa made this announcement in a state-wide broadcast on Tuesday.
According to the governor, the extension is part of the state’s efforts to curb the spread of the disease of COVID-19.
Governor Okowo said the two weeks extension of the stay-at-home order is to enable officials to track, identify, isolate and test all who have had contact with the three confirmed cases in the state.
He said: “I hereby extend the stay-at-home order for a period of two weeks. It is for public good and for the interest of our health. And I want to urge all Deltans to please observe the stay-at-home order.”
Delta had so far recorded three cases in the state.
