Governor Gboyega Oyetola of Osun has announced the mandatory use of face mask in public places by residents as from April 24 as part of measures to curb the spread of Coronavirus in the state.
Oyetola, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Ismail Omipidan, on Thursday in Osogbo, said that the decision was part of the resolutions by the South West Governors at its virtual meeting.
The governor noted that the South-West states were the first to make wearing of masks mandatory, saying that the regulation would remain in place till the states were rid of the pandemic.
Oyetola, who warned residents against complacency, urged them to cover their nose and mouth with the mask whenever they step out of their homes.
The governor, however, said that the stay-at-home order in Osun was still in place, adding that other precautionary measures of physical distancing and regular washing of hands must be observed.
