Covid-19 Can’t Stop Me From Laying Hands On The Sick —Adeboye

The 78 – year -old cleric , who donned a face shield , advised members of his church not to be afraid of the virus but implored them to play their role by obeying all health guidelines.

He said , “I want you to relax but don’t be careless . When I say relax , I do not say be careless . I hope you know the difference between the two. When they say wear your mask , wear your mask . When they say wash your hands , wash your hands . You know we are very particular about hygiene. Even when corona is gone , keep on washing your hands .”

However, a viral photo of the cleric wearing a face shield while he laid hands on a bedridden person had attracted criticisms last week but speaking today , the cleric said social distancing won ’t prevent him from laying hands on the sick .

“When they talk about social distancing , do that as much as possible . Obey the government .

“But I can ’ t distance myself from my wife and I am not going to allow social distancing prevent me from laying hands on the sick so that they can recover – that is my duty and I will do it,” Adeboye said .
