Expect massive COVID-19 infections in two weeks ? SGF Boss Mustapha
SHARE

Nigerians have been informed to expect some high numbers of COVID-19 infections in the next two weeks at a Presidential Task Force briefing on Tuesday, November 3.

While reprimanding some arriving travelers into the country, Boss Mustapha, The Secretary to the Government of the Federation and Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 revealed that the travelers have refused to come in for testing.

Another reason that could cause an increase in the cases according to him, is the endsars protests and elections in Ondo and Edo states.

Mustapha said;

“The PTF at the last briefing cautioned on the need to avoid complacency on account of the low number of infections published daily and the possibility of a second wave. That advice was premised on the fact that risk perception remains very low and sample collection has been on the decline.”

“The PTF is highlighting these issues repeatedly because we remain at risk of importation, having opened our airspace and massive spread as a result of the protests. The next week or two remain critical.

“The PTF similarly announced sanctions as a consequence of any infraction. Having observed serious non-compliance to the level of 65%, the need has arisen to activate the sanctions, including the suspension of the passports of such defaulting individuals for a period of six months minimum.”
