Cross River Gov. Ben Ayade has extended the stay-at-home order given to residents of the State by one week

According to his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Christian Ita, the extension was to ensure that the State is COVID-19 free.

He ordered  civil servants in the state to stay away from work for another week, except those on essential service, including medical personnel, paramilitary officers and revenue officers.
