The Federal Government says though it has made appreciable progress in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic over the last four weeks, Nigeria is not yet out of the woods because a lot more is required to be done.
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation and chairman of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, Boss Mustapha, said this in Abuja on Monday at a briefing of the PTF.
He said Nigerians at all levels must take responsibility for their actions, adopt behavioural modification, ensure compliance with advisories and provide guidance to our followers and youths.
“Let me remind all Nigerians that the fight against COVID-19 is a fight for all of us. It is only when we unite that victory can be assured in the next phase of this fight,” he said.
Mustapha said the situation in Kano State was being addressed closely by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control in strong partnership with the state government and guidance by the Federal Ministry of Health and also the development partners.
Scores of people were reported to have died of a disease tagged as “strange” in Kano State in the last few days.
“The situation in Kano is being addressed very closely by the NCDC in strong partnership with the State government and guidance by the federal Ministry of health as well as support from our development partners,” Mustapha said.
He said the PTF would continue to pursue the strategy of aggressive testing, detection, isolation, contact tracing, care and management.”
