The Federal Government on Monday announced the relaxation on the ban on religious gathering in the country from June 1.

The Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 disclosed this during its daily briefing in Abuja, saying this is based on the guidelines and protocols agreed by state governments.

The PTF, however, said the ban on inter-state movement in the country remains in force. The government also announced that the curfew imposed on the country will now be from 10.00 p.m. to 4.00 a.m.

The Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 has also requested the Aviation Industry to start developing protocols for domestic flights to possibly resume from June 21. For now, all the schools are to remain closed.
