The government also asked the organized labour to develop new strategies for workplace operations at the end of the current outbreak of the pandemic.

These were part of the disclosures at Friday’s briefing of the Presidential Taskforce on COVID-19 in Abuja.

Speaking during the briefing, the Director General of the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), Dr Chikwe Ihekweazu in his said Nigerians would have to learn to live with the pandemic until there is a vaccine to halt it.

“…we really encourage all Nigerians, because we are at the beginning of a journey and the most likely scenario is that until we have a vaccine, we would have to learn to live with COVID-19 in our country.

“We have to tell ourselves the truth about this and encourage one another because there is no point doing that. All of us here are just as vulnerable as catching the virus as are many other people. We will do our best, but we will always have to remember that it is a virus, you cannot build a wall and anything can still happen in spite of our best efforts”, he added.

Meanwhile, the WHO Country Representative in Nigeria, Dr Fiona Braka who spoke of the rigorous processes involved in approving a vaccine for any disease said 89 vaccines are currently in development globally.

She said; “on the subject of vaccines and clinical trials for COVID-19, I will like to say that research and development is an important aspect of the response and researchers around the world are working hard on accelerating the development of vaccines and therapeutics for Covid-19.

“WHO has launched various working groups to accelerate various aspects of vaccine development.

“Together with global health actors and partners, over the past week, WHO launched the Access to Covid-19 Tools ACT Accelerator, a global collaboration to accelerate development for equitable access to new Covid-19 diagnostics, therapeutics, and vaccines.

“We have a total of 89 vaccines that are in development globally, including seven in clinical evaluation and several therapeutics are in clinical trials.

“WHO is committed to ensuring that as medicines and vaccines are developed, they are shared equitably with all countries and people.

“We do have the solidarity trial which is an international clinical trial to help find an effective treatment for Covid-19, launched by the WHO and partners.

“More than 100 countries have joined the solidarity trial and to date, over 1, 200 patients have been randomized from the first five countries to evaluate the safety and efficacy of full drug and drug combinations.

“Nigeria has also expressed interest to be part of this solidarity trial and efforts are underway to start the process in Nigeria”, she added.

Dear Covid-19 pls locate all the looters both in present govt & past, and finish them all .

That's the last resort!

we know, can we just skip to the part where we resume school?

But initially NCDC was bragging that they fully prepared to fight the pandemic.

Now, it seems they have gotten more that they bergained for.

If Fed. Govt learner from the mistakes of other countries and close our boarder early, may be we will not be facing all these challenges.

Wetin we know be say CoronaVirus will soon be a thing of the past.

Ebola been come...we jumped and pass

Lassa fever showed face...we dodged it.

So Corona matter no go see us

You dey mind them? Instead of them to ransack bush find Artemisia leave, them dey form tough men

Is this suppose to be a joke

It's very dangerous coming from NCDC.

They should not cause panic.

Stop reminding me that Government wasted one month of me time for nothing.

Does it mean NCDC did not know their capacity of testing and yet allowed Buhari and governors to be locking us down withouting tests.

NCDC have goofed

We reject covid19.

There is nothing NCDC can do now, as this country is full of corruption and they are playing politics with everything. Tough situation require tough division. Lockdown without relief materials, some vehicles are moving and people are following it from Lagos to other destinations.
Many people have this virus without symptoms and unknowingly spreading it.
Decision makers are confused, they close down place of worship while other places are opened. Only God can help us

Look my people NCDC don comot hand for covid19. In the world of microbes, all viruses are harmful to the body

Did you know that one single virus cell explodes into more than 8 million cells in less than 24 hours?
