President Muhammadu Buhari will meet with members of the
Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 today.
The Presidency announced this on Tuesday via its official
handle.
“@MBuhari will meet with the Presidential Task Force on
Covid-19 this afternoon,” @NGRPresident tweeted.
This comes less than 24 hours after the federal government
announced a partial shutdown for the next five weeks, in a bid to stem the
second wave of Coronavirus across the country.
The PTF Chairman, Boss Mustapha, issued the advisory on
Monday at the PTF briefing in Abuja.
According to Mustapha, Buhari had authorised the
Presidential Task Force to engage with the states and the Federal Capital
Territory to assume full ownership of this stage of the response.
He said that bars, night clubs, pubs and event centres, and
recreational venues were considered super-spreaders of the virus.
States and the FCT are to shut down all informal and formal
festivity events including weddings, conferences, congresses, office parties,
concerts, seminars, sporting activities.
Churches and Mosques should not be filled beyond 50 per cent
of their installed capacity during worship and prayer time while face masks and
social distancing are compulsory.
