While most people believe that measures like social distancing, self-isolation and lockdown are some of the ways to go to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, Cross River State governor, Ben Ayade has lifted the ban and asked civil servants to return to work.
This was disclosed in a statement by Christian Ita, the Senior Special Assistant on media to the governor.
