The Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 has warned States against rushing to reopen schools.

Mustapha advised it would be in the best interest of Nigeria to stick to the pattern proven effective since the national response was launched. “Whilst the PTF does not discourage making such preparations, we need to be guided by experiences from countries such as Germany, France, the United States and the UK where opening of schools in some cities led to an increase in confirmed cases and fatalities.”
