The Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 has said there
was no evidence that anyone has been infected from exposure to the bodies of
persons who had died of COVID-19.
Speaking on Monday, the PTF coordinator, Dr Sani Aliyu
during a press briefing, reiterated that the body of the late Chief of Staff to
the President, Malam Abba Kyari, was properly prepared for burial.
According to him, “the bodies of persons with COVID-19, as
stated clearly by the World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines were not
infectious except in cases of viral haemorrhagic fever and cholera.”
Apologizing for not adhering to the social distancing order,
he assured the public that the PTF would continue to follow the guidelines and
protocols it had produced.
He stressed that the NCDC guidelines were very much
reflecting the WHO guidelines.
“We will also like to assure the public that the task force
takes its Presidential mandate seriously and is committed to executing it to
the best of its ability as we ask for the public to continue holding us
accountable for our actions.
“We read your comments on social media, we listen to you and
also acknowledge the issues that might arise. Please continue to do so, it is
the only way we can continue to improve and fight these big challenges we
have,” NAN quoted him as saying.
