Following the arrival of COVID-19 vaccines in the country, the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), has warned residents and management of business premises against violating COVID-19 Protocols.
The Head, Media and Enlightenment of the Ministerial Taskforce on Enforcement of COVID-19 Protocols, Mr Ihkaro Attah, issued the warning at a news conference on Sunday in Abuja.
He expressed dismay over the seeming relaxation to the strict compliance with COVID-19 protocols since the arrival of vaccines into the country.
He reminded the FCT residents that the COVID-19 Health Protection Regulations Act, 2021, signed by President Muhammadu Buhari, was still being enforced in the territory, adding that anybody or business premises found violating regulation would be arrested and prosecuted.
He revealed that from Monday, March 8, residents would see intensive enforcement with a view to wake people up from slumber, “who feel that the vaccines are out so they can do whatever they like.”
Attah also disclosed that Mobile Court would be sitting in some locations that are already known, warning that anybody that fails to put his facemasks would be arrested and prosecuted.
Similarly, he cautioned that and any business premises that fail to have handwashing points and temperature check devices would be prosecuted and get the seal off orders from the court.
