Secretary to State Government, Wole Oyebamiji, in a statement in Osogbo, yesterday, said the decision was taken at the state executive council meeting.
Oyebamiji said the council expressed worries over what it described as abysmally low level of compliance of residents with COVID-19 protocols.
He said the council also appealed to the citizenry to cut down on social gatherings, such as wedding, naming and funeral ceremonies to reduce exposure and contact with possible carriers of coronavirus visiting the state during the yuletide.
