The federal government will
release new protocols for the next phase of efforts to contain the spread of
COVID-19 in the country by Thursday.
This was disclosed by the
National Coordinator of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, Dr Sani Aliyu,
during Monday’s press briefing in Abuja.
“I will like to remind us all of
the safety guidelines for the eased lockdown phase two, which will continue to
be in place until Thursday, August 6, when we will announce a new protocol for
the third phase,” Aliyu said.
Aliyu also noted that more
countries were experiencing a second wave of COVID-19, forcing them back into
lockdown.
Corroborating Aliyu’s comments, the
PTF Chairman and Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss
Mustapha, said the new protocols will be released after its sixth interim
report must have been submitted to President Muhammadu Buhari.
“As mentioned during our last
press briefing of Monday July 27, 2020, the PTF will submit its sixth interim
report to Mr President and subject to his approval, we hope to present the way
forward to Nigerians at the next briefing on Thursday, August 6, 2020,”
Mustapha said.
Nigeria currently has 44,129
confirmed cases of coronavirus.
