Federal Offices Nationwide To Open\u00a0 May 4 – FG<\/strong><\/div>\n
… Banking, Construction,\u00a0 Manufacturing sectors, Food processing companies, to Also Open<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Abuja<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Federal offices nationwide with effect from May 4 can now open for workers to resume work. The Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 has said.<\/strong><\/div>\n
The banking, construction,\u00a0 manufacturing sectors, as well as food processing companies, will also be allowed to open from Monday.<\/strong><\/div>\n
The resumption will be based on specific grade levels, the PTF explained.<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The PTF noted that banks will be allowed to open from 8 am to 2 pm daily while observing the new restrictions put in place by the government.<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
National Coordinator of the PTF on Covid-19, Dr. Aliyu Sani stated these during the daily briefing by the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 pandemic.<\/strong><\/div>\n
The national coordinator said that temperature test, respiratory hygiene and restriction of gathering of not more than 20 persons will be introduced.<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Sani said the task force would be engaging with state governments to make sure that the PTF have a common approach to the opening of offices.<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He said: \u201cFor government offices, government staff will be allowed to resume from the 4 of May but it will be based on specific grade levels and specific days so that we can reduce the amount of congestion that we might have in our government offices and we will be discussing further with state governments to make sure that we have a common approach to this.<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cBanks will be allowed to open but there will be restriction in the opening hours to between 8am to 2pm and together with all the other preventive measures I have already mentioned.<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cIn addition to this, from the point of agriculture and rural development, companies involved in food processing can commence operation.<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cIn construction sites, critical road will be allowed but waivers will be provided by state governments to enable movement.\u201cFor the manufacturing and pharmaceutical industries, we will encourage shift work and limiting staff to only 30 to 50 per cent to maintain social distancing and pharmacy shops may remain open overnight.\u201d<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Sani, however, said that restrictions on social gatherings remain suspended pending review of the new measures put in place by the government.<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He said that restaurants and schools remain closed.<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
However, Sani said that neighbourhood markets are allowed to operate during the relaxed lockdown.<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He said: \u201cRestaurant will not be opened to the public but will be allowed to engage in-home delivery of food.<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cSchools will remain closed until further evaluation. Schools are encouraged to continue with e-learning and virtual teaching.<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cSocial activities such as the use of recreational parks. Communal sports, concert, social parties and movie theaters will be suspended until further review.\u201cNeighborhood markets will continue to open with the same standard and restrictions that we have applied in the past as well as supermarkets, and retail stores.\u201d<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He urged those above 65 years old and with mobility challenge to avoid co-mingling with the general public so that they protect themselves from catching Covid-19.<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThere will be general pieces of advice, for instance, discouraging persons above the age of 65 and those with mobility challenge from co-mingling with the general public so that they protect themselves from catching Covid -19 because they are the ones that are most likely to develop severe illness.<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cWe will be providing additional details and hopefully the implementation guidelines and the protocols will follow over the next day or two to allow businesses and offices to prepare for these changes,\u201d he added.\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
