The rule of social distancing which was advised by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the Nigeria Center For Disease Control (NCDC) to check the spread of coronavirus was breached in Ondo State on Friday during the burial rites of the late Commissioner for Health, Dr. Wahab Adegbenro.
PREMIUM TIMES obtained pictures of hundreds of residents who failed to observe social distancing at the burial in Akure.
A video had earlier shown the governor of the state, Rotimi Akeredolu, sneezing in public without a face mask, days before he was tested positive for the virus.
Mr Adegbenro died of COVID- 19 complications at the state’s infectious disease hospital on Thursday.
He died two days after he handed over a report confirming Mr Akeredolu’s positive status to the governor.
