The Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 has warned Nigerians to be careful to avoid the country experiencing a third wave of the pandemic.
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation and PTF Chairman, Boss Mustapha, gave the warning at the coronavirus briefing in Abuja on Monday.
France, Italy and Germany were mentioned as some of the countries currently suffering from the third wave of coronavirus with Italy programmed for fresh lockdown.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the virus is very potent and people still get infected. It is also a fact that the vaccination process has only just begun. It has been reported that some countries are recording a third wave of cases.
“The PTF will like to caution Nigerians on home-based care as there may not be enough facilities and personnel to manage patients in times of emergencies,” Mustapha stated.
