The Managing Director, Transgreen Nigeria Limited, Mr Cyprian Orakpo, has stressed the need for Nigerians to maintain respiratory hygiene to curb the spread of COVID-19.
Orakpo, at the unveiling of O-Care Medical Facemask by the firm, said the wearing of facemask had become a part of the ‘new normal’.
Orakpo said as long as there was no cure for COVID-19, facemasks and other personal protective equipment would continue to be in high demand. “The world is yet to find a preventive vaccine to arrest this scourge. In the absence of curative drugs, facemasks and other medical devices like gloves, PPE, ventilators have become a national security product.
He said it was embarrassing that there was no local medical facemask manufacturing facility in Nigeria before the COVID-19 pandemic.
