The commissioner also advised religious groups in the state to stop all planned gatherings until a solution to the Ebola outbreak was found.
Idris, who noted that such gatherings usually involved people from outside the country, said the advice was in public interest.
He said, “We are worried that a gathering of a large group of people would not be the best at this period. Those churches and Islamic associations that are planning large gatherings should stop for now.
“When we heard that there was a convention going on at the Redemption Camp of the Redeemed Christian Church of God in Ogun State, we went there to check.
“We were impressed with what was on the ground because of the outbreak. There were sanitisers everywhere, doctors and other health workers were on standby. The General Overseer(Pastor Enoch Adeboye) also took time to educate people on the virus and what could be done to prevent it.
“We also went to Synagogue church when we heard that they were planning a conference on Ebola. But the truth is that there was nothing like that. The founder(TB Joshua) told us that he was planning to travel out. He also promised to cooperate with the government.
“But the best thing is that any form of large gathering must stop for now.”
