The chairman of the
Presidential Task Force (PTF), Boss Mustapha, has said the federal government
might impose ‘isolated lockdowns’ in certain parts of the country.
Mustapha also
dismissed the possibility of another nationwide lockdown, according to ThisDay.
He, however, stated
that some cluster areas in certain parts of the country, would be closely
monitored for possible intervention as advised by medical experts.
Isolated lockdowns
might not affect the entire states, but affected parts for efficient
administration, enforcement and monitoring.
Mustapha cited the
federal government’s intervention in Kano State, as an example of how the
isolated lockdown might look.
He also noted that
the situations reports across the country were being monitored closely, so the
federal government will determine when to intervene.
On Saturday night,
the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) announced 176 new positive cases,
increasing the tally to 5,621 in the country.
A total of 1,472
have been discharged, while the number of deaths rose to 176.
