"Those of you who wished to start worshipping, the churches, mosques, and others, must be disinfected, fumigated and safety protocols put in place and it is against this backdrop that there must always exist a healthy collaboration between us and I have engaged the Zoomlion to undertake this important exercise in the coming days and each religious institution will receive Veronica bucket with its accessories " he assured.

"My gallant Men and women of God, while we thank God that North Dayi has not recorded any case so far, we must continue adhering to enhanced personal hygiene and social distancing protocols, regular washing of hands with soap under running water, refrain from shaking hands and wearing of masks when leaving our homes to churches, mosques, markets, offices and other social gatherings," he admonished.

He made these known in separate meetings with the clergy at Anfoega and Vakpo respectively.
