ONDO State government has ordered that all residents be vaccinated against the COVID-19 pandemic, stressing that the decision was made in view of the ongoing efforts to contain the spread of the Delta variant of the virus.
Speaking after the state executive council meeting on Monday, Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Donald Ojogo, said the council also approved that residents be given two weeks ultimatum for vaccination, after which evidence of vaccination will be criteria to access churches, mosques, hospitals and other public places, including government offices.
“Aside all existing protocols, all residents in the state must be vaccinated with effect from two weeks from now. After the expiration, evidence of vaccination will be the condition to access public places, churches, mosques. The Head of Service has been mandated to drive this process in the public service,” Ojogo stressed.
He also announced the suspension of all activities in the state forest reserves, including free areas and flitches with immediate effect.
He said the suspension was part of the decisions made at the council meeting, adding that the State Security Network codenamed Amotekun had been directed to enforce the decision.
