The Federal Government has warned that COVID-19 will spread
more to rural areas across the country.
The Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire, who said this on
Monday at the daily briefing of the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19
in Abuja, urged Nigerians to be ready for the pandemic.
He also said that the FG’s objective was to reduce Nigeria’s
COVID-19 fatality case to one per cent.
“Our objective is to reduce the case fatality to 1 per
cent,” Ehanire said.
“COVID-19 will also spread more to rural areas, and we
should be ready for that.
“It is too early to read meanings to the COVID-19 data in
Nigeria.
“The testing for COVID-19 increased by 40, 000 between June
and July.
“Our health workers should not be apprehensive over PPE as
the country has a reasonable stock.”
Meanwhile, the number of COVID-19 cases in Nigeria as at
today is 44,129 according to NCDC.
