The Presidential Task Force on the Novel Coronavirus Pandemic has denied fixing June 21, 2020, as resumption date for air travels in the country.
“What we said to the aviation authority is this; you need to let us know, from the 21st of June onwards, if you are ready to start opening the skies. We didn’t say 21st of June, skies open, we gave them a window of three weeks to prepare and I believe they are preparing. He, however noted that the fact that the numbers had kept rising and had gone beyond the 13,000 mark indicated that the number of persons already infected was far higher, noting that the known number was just about 10% to 15% of those already tested and that there were more people out there yet to be tested, but had already been infected.
“Even with the situation we are in, we are monitoring carefully, nothing is off the table. We still have options available, we will continue to work closely with the community because we’ve now gone into community transmission phase. We know that the only thing that will stop this pandemic is behaviour change.
