The Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 has claimed
that travels, reopening of schools, businesses and religious centres,
contributed to the rise in COVID-19 cases in Nigeria.
There are currently over 100,000 confirmed infections in the
country.
With the second wave of coronavirus in full force, the
government is reviewing the date for resumption of schools.
Chairman of the PTF and Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, speaking during Monday’s media briefing in Abuja, named factors that led to the spike in numbers.
“It is, however, very instructive to stress that factors
that have contributed to rise in numbers from late November 2020 included
increased local and international travels, business and religious activities, reopening
of schools without strict compliance with COVID-19 safety measures,” Mustapha
said.
Last week, the federal government admitted it would have no
choice than to impose a fresh lockdown in the country, if the number of
COVID-19 infections continue to spike.
