He added that the dusk-to-dawn curfew would resume daily at 8pm and last till 5.59 am of the following morning.

Fayemi said: “I, therefore, urge you to willingly submit yourselves for testing when the officials get to your neighborhood.

“This also provides an opportunity for those who might have had symptoms associated with COVID-19 to freely come out for testing at no cost to them.”
