Nigeria is planning to use the latest movement restrictions imposed by President Muhammadu Buhari on two states and Abuja to identify those who may have been exposed to COVID-19, the Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire, has said.Mr Ehanire said on Channels Television, a few minutes after the president addressed the nation, that the government has plans to intensify contact tracing as new cases of COVID-19 are recorded in the country.
“We are therefore working to ensure such interstate and intercity movements are restricted to prevent further spread. Mr Buhari said the cessation of all movements in those areas is for an initial period of 14 days with effect from 11 p.m. on Monday, March 30. “The Governors of Lagos and Ogun States as well as the Minister of the FCT have been notified. Furthermore, heads of security and intelligence agencies have also been briefed.”In his interview, Mr Ehanire debunked the news that a top official who had tested positive for COVID-19 had travelled out of the country for treatment.
Retweet Now to Stop The Spread
Did Buhari mentioned anything on Taxes and VAT reduction or cancelation ? If not the whole broadcast is utterly useless and not necessary.
