Tuesday marked the beginning of a new phase of the eased
lockdown and the take-off of the new nationwide curfew from 10pm to 4am.
Speaking at the presidential task force (PTF) briefing in
Abuja on Tuesday, Boss Mustapha, chairman of the PTF and secretary to the
government of the federation, said citizens should not see the lockdown
relaxation as an excuse to relax caution against COVID-19.
“The PTF is conscious of the fact there is a high
possibility of members of the public seeing the easing as a signal that COVID
is gone. On the contrary, COVID-19 is still virulent, dangerous and
infectious,” he said.
“Our lives have changed for good and will never revert to
what we used to know. That is why we have urged all the employers, employees
and leaders of sectors allowed to re-open to diligently comply with
non-pharmaceutical measures prescribed in the guidelines and the protocols
agreed by state governments.”
