The Presidential Task Force on the Novel Coronavirus Pandemic has explained why it might not be imposing precision lockdowns on the 11 high-burden council areas of the country.
Noting that the geographical natures of the council areas make it rather impracticable to do isolated lockdown with them, Aliyu however added that precision lockdowns are just one out of many types of interventions that could be used to manage cases in the said council areas. “We have 11 high-burden local government areas we’ve identified, we are doing a lot of works in these local government areas, especially as it relates to risk communication and community engagement activities.“We are also trying to improve testing, particularly in Lagos where seven of the 11 local governments are; we are improving case management, discussing with the various states in terms of improving access to care, access to oxygen and so on.
