Ondo Governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, has imposed a 7pm to 7am curfew on the state to further curb the spread of COVID-19.
He threatened to declare a total lockdown of the state if another COVID-19 case is discovered.

He ordered arrest and detention of any person caught during the curfew hours.
The Ondo Governor said it was disturbing that a third COVID-19 case could be detected in the state despite measures put in place to curtail the spread.
Akeredolu noted the stiffer measures being put in place was to stop COVID-19 from spreading across the state.
