Appealing to residents of the state to adhere strictly to the lockdown order, the commissioner expressed worry that some people are still claiming ignorant of the danger in Covid 19 by saying it is a disease of the rich.

“This set of people are also thinking they are doing the government a favour by staying home and following medical advice .

Adeleke then hailed the Governor, Mr Gboyega Oyetola for the seriousness he attached to the issue of the deadly pandemic called coronavirus by being proactive in all fronts.
