Chinese nationals barred from leaving their apartments in Ogun State

In a bid to prevent the spread of coronavirus in Ogun State, Chinese nationals have been barred from leaving their apartments in the state.

Remmy Hazzan, the Special Adviser to Governor Dapo Abiodun on Communications, told newsmen that the apartments of returning Chinese nationals are been guarded by security agents to ensure they are kept in perfect isolation.

He also revealed that the action would prevent a situation whereby a foreign national showing signs of having the virus is not noticed on time.

He said, “What we have done is to effect self-isolation (of returning Chinese nationals) in the places where they live. We have them in quarries; some in farms and the estate in Ogun-Quandong Free Trade Zone, Igbesa, is 100 per cent Chinese.

“These nationals are isolated in these places. As a matter of fact, we have security officials manning the entrances to all these places to forestall any breach.

“We also have people running errands for them (Chinese) to forestall the likelihood of anyone trying to go into neighbouring towns.”
