Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State has imposed a 7 pm to 7 am curfew on the state to curb further spread of COVID-19.

After three positive cases of COVID-19 in the state, Akeredolu has vowed to declare a total lockdown of the state if another COVID-19 case is discovered.

He, however, clarified that the third case was not a member of the National Youth Service Corps but an employee of the Nigeria Army Clinic that served there in 2017.
