Wale Oyewale and Peter Dada Nigerians are abandoning the use of face masks and other safety protocols as rates of COVID-19 infections are declining in the country, findings byon Sunday that with lax

adherence to safety protocols, Nigeria could witness another coronavirus surge as schools prepared for full resumption.

Another person, Mallam Aminu Duniya, said, “The disease is no more here, so why should I suffer myself wearing a face mask?” At the major motor parks at Wuruku in the capital city, most travellers and motorists were sighted without wearing face masks, while inter-state buses observed the physical distancing, the intra-state operators ignored it.

Also in Ondo State, the use of face masks has been abandoned in public places such as markets, government offices and shopping malls. But people in Akwa Ibom, who spoke to The PUNCH, said they had not been using face masks because they had yet to believe that COVID-19 was real.
