What you should know

  • The Federal Government had emphasized on the need for strict adherence to guidelines given by health authorities due to the surge in Covid-19 infection cases across the country especially in Lagos and the fear of the outbreak of a new strain of the disease.
  • Despite a series of warnings by the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on Covid-19 and the health authorities against large gatherings, many Nigerians have continued to defy the directive.
  • This has led to the exponential rise in the number of Covid-19 cases across the country with Lagos State still regarded as the epicentre of the pandemic in the country.
