Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State has declared a gradual relaxation of the restriction of movements in the state which was declared to help curb coronavirus.

In a statement issued on his official Twitter handle, Okowa advised citizens of the state that the decision does not indicate that the challenges with the virus are over.

The governor also gave an update on the current situation with the confirmed coronavirus cases in the state.

He wrote: "As we gradually relax the restriction of movement, I must caution everyone that all is not yet ‘uhuru.’ Life, as we used to know it, is still a long way off, therefore, we must all brace ourselves to adjust to the new normal in our personal and professional capacities.

"In this regard, I would like to thank the people of our great state for your understanding throughout this challenging period. With your cooperation and support, our lockdown measures have helped to limit the spread of this virus in our state.

"Earlier today, I informed the people of Delta State that we have recorded six cases of #COVID19 in our state. While five of the patients are still in recovery at our case management centres, sadly, we lost one patient who failed to present himself to the authorities on time".
