to handle of defaulters of the protocols and introduction of new COVID-19
guidelines to ensure that the spread of the virus was checked in the state.
Aniagwu asserted that "COVID-19 is not a death sentence" and urged
the people to freely go for screening for the virus.
He disclosed that "the first family of the state appreciates all Deltans
for your prayers and the show of love.
"The governor and his family are doing very well; he is in very high
spirit and he has said that all ongoing projects must continue.’’
"Based on the increase in the number of COVID-19 cases, more stringent
measures will be taken to ensure compliance; COVID-19 is real and more mobile
courts will be established to try those who flout the protocols.
"Also, a task force to ensure compliance will be set up and any hotel, bar
or restaurant that flouts the protocols will be shut down.
"Yesterday (Tuesday), we had a zoom meeting and as a government, we will
not watch individuals endanger the lives of others; we will come up with new
protocols that will be enforced by the task force.
