Aliyu also said that supermarkets and food stores would be allowed to open between 10:00 am and 4:00, adding that business owners and managers have been advised to screen staff and customers before entry.
He said, “On arrival, all staff must be screened for a high temperature and all those found to have a high body temperature above 38, will be denied entry and advised to seek immediate medical attention.
