COVID-19: NCDC gives update on Nigerian govt stay at home order
Director-General, Nigeria Centre for Disease Control , Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu, has urged Nigerians to continue to comply with the Federal Government’s directive by staying at home as they celebrate Easter.
According to him, the pandemic is a global issue and not unique to Nigeria and many across the globe would have loved to celebrate Easter by visiting family and friends.“The health and safety of all Nigerians must be the priority, especially right now. “Because the virus is spread mainly through respiratory droplets exchanged from person to person, keeping people away from one another and avoiding mass gatherings altogether, is one of the safest ways to help stop the spread.
Ihekweazu commended Church leaders nationwide for taking responsibility in the effort to curb COVID-19 spread and leveraging technology to reach and continue to encourage their congregation in difficult times.The DG said that the virus spread rapidly through sustained close contact with an infected person.
