Don’t be afraid of COVID-19 test, Mustapha tells Nigerians
Secretary to the Government of the Federation and Chairman, Presidential Taskforce on COVID-19, Boss Mustapha, has urged Nigerians to stop being afraid of COVID-19 test.
The SGF said, “I implore us not to be afraid of undertaking the COVID-19 test. Testing positive for COVID-19 is not a death sentence, but failure to test, especially when symptoms are evident could result in death as it may be too late once the symptoms become full-blown.“The PTF is also not unmindful of the possibility of imports, especially through our land borders.
Mustapha said the PTF had directed that more awareness be created on the location of test centres and how to get tested especially when one fits the case definition. He added, “This declaration is a signal that overcoming COVID-19 and indeed any other infectious disease is possible and shall be achieved.
