The Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 has urged
Nigerians not to conduct usual Christmas festivities such as carol services
this year.
Chikwe Ihekweazu, the Director-General of the Nigeria Centre
for Disease Control (NCDC), stated this during the weekly briefing of the task
force in Abuja on Monday.
According to Ihekweazu, Christmas carols, travels and other
gatherings during the festive season, could turn out to be “super spreaders” of
the coronavirus.
He said, “This is really to re-emphasise the call by the PTF
that many of the traditional meetings that we engage in at this time of the
year, whether they are Christmas carols or festivals, trips, family gatherings,
each of those could end up being a super spreader event.
“So, we must take this into consideration as we make our
choices.”
NCDC on Monday night announced 145 new cases of COVID-19 in
the country.
The new infections take the number of cases in the country
to 67,557.
I don't think these guys are serious, how could you allow election campaign in Lagos without any form of COVID guidelines and warns Christian agaiy gathering? Same way u guys allowed some states to celebrate Ileya in the north.
