The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) has warned state governments not to relax lockdown orders because this will only heighten the transmission of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, as there are evidences of community transmission in the country.

The Nigerian Medical Association has warned state governments not to relax lockdown orders because this will only heighten the transmission of the coronavirus pandemic, as there are evidences of community transmission in the country.

It can be recalled that some states governors had ordered the relaxation of the lockdown orders and approved mass observance of Jumat prayers and Easter Sunday services. “Of particular concern are: the declaration by the Cross River State Governor that social distancing is not needed while wearing a face mask; a moratorium on the lockdown to allow mass gathering in mosques and churches starting from Friday to Sunday in Rivers state; and the lifting of the ban on Friday prayers by Katsina and Kogi States government.

“While appreciating the prime place of religion in our national lives and especially the value Christians place on Easter, we place on record that there is now the evidence of community transmission of COVID-19.
