COVID-19: Nigeria on Verge of Community Spread, FG Warns

By Iyobosa Uwugiaren

In a press conference called to update members of the public on the measures being taken to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic, he also revealed that the relevant authorities were tracing 4,370 people of interest and urged those who had contact with suspected cases to immediately report to the authorities.

‘’As for me, I tested yesterday and the result came out negative. After the test, we were supposed to go on self- isolation. But giving the nature of the crisis we have at hands, we cannot disappear. But we are taking the necessary measures’’, the minister said. The minister said that while he didn’t intend to sound apocalyptic, he warned that time was running out, saying that if Nigerians don’t urgently and more aggressively enforce the recommended measures they have a short window within which to stop the pandemic.

‘’The facilities we have now include the 40-bed hotel, the 60-bed Medical Centre in Zuba and the 160-bed centre in Abuja. We are still looking at other facilities within the Federal Capital Territory. He warned that Nigeria was on the verge of reaching the level of community spread and stated, ‘’We must stop this immediately or we will record exponential cases in the days ahead.
