Coronavirus: Ondo shuts down public, private schools

Few hours after a suspected case of Coronavirus in Ondo State, the State Government, on Thursday, announced the closure of all public and private schools in the state, effective from Friday, March 20, 2020, until further notice.

The state governor, Mr Rotimi Akeredolu, who gave this order during a state broadcast, said the closure of schools became necessary in order to prevent teachers and their pupils from contracting the deadly disease in the state.

Akeredolu who also appealed to the people of the state to avoid staying in overcrowded areas, avoid any unnecessary travels outside the state, also urged them “to obey and observe the simple, time tested and internationally accepted precautionary measures to fight this debilitating virus.”

Akeredolu said: “We have also directed the closure of all primary and secondary schools as well tertiary institutions in the state as from Friday, March 20, 2020 until further notice.

“This measure is to harvest our children into the safety net for proper monitoring and care. There is no doubt that this global pandemic poses a real challenge to all nations, yet if we all collaborate effectively, we will overcome it successfully.
