COVID-19: We’ll enforce social distance directive-FRSC

The Ogun state command of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) on Tuesday said it will enforce the regulation of social distance directive to further prevent the spread of the coronavirus outbreak in the country. 

Sector Commander, Mr. Clement Oladele, disclosed this in Ota, Ogun state. 

Oladele said the federal and Ogun state governments have warned people against over-crowding while the state government directed that two passengers should seat on a row in vehicles. 

“We are going to enforce the regulation of the directive as the government is making emphatic efforts to ensure that this coronavirus is curtailed in the country.’’ he said.

The sector commander admonished transporters not to wait for the FRSC before they comply with the directive. 

Oladele said that patrol operatives have been provided with appropriate protective kits to check the spread of the coronavirus in the country. 

He added that both the FRSC officials and marshal use hand gloves and nose masks as all staff have been sensitised, while saying that measures have been put in place in the operational offices of corps across the state.

“The meeting of people coming to our office will be brief after checking that they have standard or required temperature by the WHO.  They will also wash their hands with soaps and water before being attended to.

“We will also reduce the number of people that we are having contact with because our safety is important,’’ he stated.
