Meanwhile, citizens were advised to adhere strictly to COVID-19 protocols as offices, businesses, markets, and places of worship open.
However, there are warnings that worship centres that failed to comply with the guidelines would be closed in the interest of the people of the state.
You will recall that the Kaduna state government had imposed restrictions on all forms of congregational worship on March 26, 2020, to prevent the further spread of COVID-19 in the state.
