Government House and public places will be manned by the task force.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose civil servants without the cards and those who have not vaccinated will have to stay and work from home. This will be applicable in the 18 local government areas of the state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said government has a device that will detect whether vaccination cards presented is fake or not, saying that they are aware that some people will try to be smart.<\/p>\n<p>Irowa disclosed that the state recorded 33 new cases, three deaths including a 28-year-old pregnant woman and 114 recovery.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, refusing to get vaccinated and non-adherence to pharmaceutical measure of preventing COVID-19 is responsible for the high death rate in the state.<\/p>\n<p>He, however, advised residents to get themselves vaccinated and protect their loved ones.<\/p>\n<p>He said government is not forcing any one to take the vaccine but \u201cif you don\u2019t have the vaccination card you can\u2019t access our public facilities\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Edo State Government has barred unvaccinated civil servants from their offices.
