It encouraged everyone to take responsibility by adhering to the non-pharmaceutical preventive measures by wearing masks, social distancing, avoiding large gatherings and maintain hand hygiene.The agency further stressed that achieving the ambitious target of having 2 million people tested in 3 months is not only the responsibility of the Federal Government but for the entire citizenry of the country.
“Lagos is still driving the outbreak and we continue to work intensively with the government of Lagos State. “If you look at figures coming out of countries like Japan and many other countries in Asia and western Europe, you will hardly see anyone not wearing a mask. That is so important. The challenge of not gathering is difficult, but we keep saying that there is no other way at the moment. It doesn’t reduce the cases to zero but it will reduce the numbers.”
“How do we as a country achieve this because other countries are moving ahead of us. We also have to demonstrate that we have the capacity to catch up not to compete but to show that we can find a way of managing this outbreak ourselves.
