The federal government on Monday reopened mosques and churches two months after they were shut down in a bid to stop the spread of coronavirus in the country.
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation and Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, Boss Mustapha, announced this at the briefing of the PTF in Abuja on Monday.
The SGF also said banks would resume normal operations today.
He, however, stated that schools remained shut while the ban on interstate travel also stayed.
He noted that these were parts of the recommendations, which the PTF submitted to and were approved by President Muhammadu Buhari for implementation over the next four weeks spanning June 2 to 29, 2020.
The SGF also emphasized that the implementation was subject to review.
He also announced the ease of the total lockdown of Kano State.
He said the relaxation of the restriction on places of worship was based on guidelines issued by the PTF and protocols agreed by state governments.
