The state said it is a proactive move to prevent the spread of coronavirus to other parts of the state.
Deputy Governor and chairman technical committee on COVID-19 in the state, Mr. Kayode Alabi, announced this to reporters on Tuesday in Ilorin.
He said the directive is pursuant to the Kwara State Infectious Diseases (Emergency Prevention) Regulation 2020.
According to him: “The shutdown means total restriction on every vehicular movement into or from Offa. The exceptions to this directive are those contained in the recent address of Mr President which granted access to vehicles transporting foodstuffs, poultry and pharmaceutical products.
“Any other movement, private or commercial is hereby banned for the next 14 days or until such a time the government is satisfied that our people are no longer at risk of mass infections arising from the two cases that have been traced to the town, starting from 6pm on Wednesday.''
