COVID-19: Expect Another Phase of Lockdown – FG tells Nigerians

The Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, Boss Mustapha, Secretary to the Government of the Federation on Thursday issued a press statement on possibilities that another phase of lockdown may begin.

He made this statement saying he is amazed how people are romancing the virus considering the fact that the cases are increasing daily.

According to Mustapha: “This is the time to lock down if it were within my power. This is the time to lock down because I can see the attitude of people romancing with COVID-19.

“The daily increase in confirmed cases, the federal government feels a sense of frustration because we can see glaringly the danger ahead and you can see the level of recklessness on the part of people who should know better.”
