Second lockdown(July 2020):List of Businesses That May Be Closed on prospective Second lockdown

As part of roles played by the government at the inception of the Covid-19 pandemic in Nigeria, the Federal government had few months ago, declared lockdown and enforced curfew on citizens in order to curtail the spread of the virus.

Although, the lockdown has been gradually eased, as the federal government sets up guidelines for citizens to take responsibility of their lives, while they set to ease the total lockdown gradually. However, President Buhari made this known during his broadcast on the democracy day, approving the ease on lockdown. Though President Buhari had earlier before then, vested powers on the state government to decide on when to lift lockdown in their various states. For example, ban on worship houses have been lifted by the federal government, but Lagos State insisted not to agree with the federal government, due to the unabated increase in covid-19 cases in their states.

In sync with this, some state governors has declared a second lockdown in their states, just like the governor of River State, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, who has pronounced a total lockdown on Bonny Local Governments Area and Onne Community in Eleme Local Government Areas, which commenced from from June 21, 2020. He went further to threatening River State residents that there would be a statewide second lockdown, if the virus continues to increase unabated.

Moreover, Earlier before now, the Director General, of the Nigeria Centre For Disease Control, (NCDC), Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu, had warned citizens against the belief that, Covid-19 does not exist in Nigeria, pinpointing that there are more Covid-19 cases in the country than reported.

On the 23rd of June 2020, the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, NCDC has confirmed 452 Covid-19 infections bringing the total number in the country to 21,371

Here is the breakdown of the number of 452 new cases of COVID-19 recorded as at 23rd June, 2020;

452 new cases of COVID19 in Nigeria; Lagos-209, Oyo-67 Delta-37 Ogun-36 FCT-22 Abia-20 Enugu-16 Bauchi-15 Kaduna-8 Ondo-8 Osun-7 Imo-3 Benue-3 Borno-1

Cross River remain the only state in Nigeria that is yet to record any case of Coronavirus since the first index case was recorded.

Meanwhile, the latest numbers bring Lagos state total confirmed cases to 9,073, followed by Abuja (1,605), Kano (1,190), Oyo (1,055), Rivers (930), Edo (797), Ogun (699), Kaduna (608), Delta (569), Bauchi (482), Gombe (479), Borno (477), Katsina (434), Jigawa (317), Ebonyi (264), Plateau (253), Abia (252). Imo (246), Kwara (200), Nasarawa (193), Bayelsa (177), Ondo (162), Enugu (160), Sokoto (138), Zamfara (76), Kebbi and Osun (67), Anambra and Niger (66), Akwa Ibom (65), Yobe (56), Benue (47), Adamawa (45), Ekiti (35), Taraba (18), while Kogi state has recorded 3 cases.

Considering the persistent increase in covid-19 as testified by the report of the NCDC above, there is a probability that the country may be going for a second lockdown, as the Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on covid-19, Boss Mustapha has hinted on this in his daily press briefing on Monday in Abuja, stating that they would be monitoring developments nationwide in order to take informed decisions by the end of June, on the second phase of the lockdown and perhaps, designating from his statement, the second lockdown may begin from next month being July 2020.

However, there may be businesses that may be closed in the prospective second lockdown due to their nature, as most businesses, while in operation would have to involve a large number of people together and some will have to make people to be close to themselves and by so doing, the preventive measures provided by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) will be violated.

Following this reason, below are list of businesses that may be closed on the prospective second lockdown, which is under the probability of commencing from July 2020

Here are business that may closed on the prospective second lockdown

Commercial Motorcyclist

Beauty Salons

Barbing Shops

Banks

Bar Joints

Recreation and relaxation center

Cinemas

Seeing the above reports of the NCDC about covid-19 cases in the country, what do you think about the NCDC reports, since every other states have been recording cases of covid-19, but River State alone, who has been recording new covid-19 cases before, seems not to have any new records lately.
