COVID-19: Majority Of Nigerians Still At Risk Of Virus – PTF by Sheynex(op): 7:19pm On Jun 08, 2020
The Presidential Task Force (PTF) on the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has warned that a majority of Nigerians are still at risk of contracting the virus.

Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) and Chairman of the PTF Mr Boss Mustapha gave the warning on Monday during the daily media briefing by the task force in Abuja.

Mustapha however charged all citizens to play their role in ensuring that the disease did not transmit easily by observing the guidelines and advisories so far provided to prevent transmission, noting that failure to prevent wide transmission would be deadly for the population.

“The PTF wishes to emphasize that a great majority of Nigerians are still susceptible to COVID-19, and if we allow it to transmit easily between us, it may be even more deadly.

“If everyone diligently observes the guidelines, we can collectively control the spread of the virus, and help to protect our health facilities as well as save lives”, he warned.

With regards to the reopening of worship centres across states over the last weekend, the SGF pointed out the need for religious leaders to strictly adhere to the guidelines issued by the PTF and the various modifications introduced by states, by guiding worshippers in their folds to take responsibility.

He said “over the last weekend, the ease of restriction on places of worship came into focus and that it is important to note that the guidelines gave states the latitude and the opportunity to negotiate protocols that meet their peculiarities.
