The Kaduna state government has restored the two day window which will allow residents restock food and other essentials on Wednesdays and Saturdays, a day after it reduced the number of lockdown-free days to one.
The decision was taken at the end of the daily meeting of the State Standing Committee on Covid-19, chaired by the Deputy Governor, Dr. Hadiza Balarabe.
Restoration of a two-day weekly window for movement according to the state is part of efforts to mitigate the effects of the lockdown.
It is concerned that the five new Covid-19 cases in the state are persons that were recently repatriated from Kano, a border state.
Residents of Kaduna wearing facemasks can now go to shops and markets selling foods and medicines to restock.
This is just as traders are directed to also wear face masks, with their customers expected to observe social distancing.
