Abstract
The work is a qualitative paper that focused attention on evaluating Rivers State government COVID-19 second lockdown and physical distancing of Diobu area of Port Harcourt. The study was informed by why the flat disregard by the residents of the area for such life-saving health policy to the extent that government isolated the area for another phase of lockdown when it relaxed lockdown in other areas of the state. At the end, the core reason for the people general disobedient is that lockdown contradict the peoples’ age long informal economy business practice which provide them with daily money without savings among other reasons. This finding of this work has significant relevance in other related empirical literatures on lockdown and physical distancing in low income and informal dominated population. Based on this, the work recommend, in case of similar case, more concentration of palliative and cash gift to such highly low income population with daily income as this will remove the worries associated with lockdown which is strange to them.
