Nationnewslead reports that The Edo State Government COVID-19 Taskforce has visited churches to enforce compliance to safety protocols to check the spread of the second wave of the pandemic.
The state government monitoring team, led by Mrs Grace Ireotoi and Mrs Irene Uabor, visited Holy Cross Cathedral, All Souls Anglican Church, Christ Victory Bible Church, and St. John Vianney Catholic Church, among others in Benin on Sunday.
Addressing journalists after the exercise, Ireotoi commended the worship centres for insisting that worshippers abide by the new directives.
She said, “The second wave of the COVID-19 is real. We want to see for ourselves if the churches are observing social distancing and if provision was made for handwashing facilities. We also wanted to observe if worshipers are adhering to the directives.
“Within the church, things are going on smoothly, but it is a different ball game outside. Social distancing is not being observed. We have spoken to the heads of the protocol units and they have promised to work on it, but for the use of face masks, the compliance is 98 per cent.”
Uabor also commended the worshippers for observing the safety measures to check the spread of the second wave of the pandemic.
