THE Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 on Monday proposed a solution to the shortage of isolation and treatment centres for patients
It urged state governments to make use of the 435 hospitals and clinics offered by the Catholic Church to augment the depleting bed spaces at treatment centres.
Mustapha, who thanked the Catholic Bishops’ Conference for the offer, also advised governors to take advantage of the offer by the Nigeria Institute of Architects to give free service towards the execution of COVID-19 related projects across the states. The SGF expressed Federal Government’s displeasure with reports of attacks on frontline healthcare workers by patients, charging state governments to arrest the ugly situation.
“It is therefore, inhuman and unacceptable that patients engage in acts of locking them up and making demands that these frontline officers, most of the time do not have the capacity to address. The PTF on COVID-19 views such behavior as reprehensible. We call on all State governments to take this up appropriately”.
Aliyu lamented the failure of some states to build isolation and treatment capacities, with the minimum of 300-bed spaces.
