BY VICTOR OSOWOCHI, ABUJA –The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) has expressed worries about the rising number of Coronavirus (COVID-19) infections in states across the Federation.
Consequently, the Centre says individual Nigerians must not neglect all existing health protocols meant to ensure their personal safety and contain community spread of the virus.
In a tweet late on Monday on its official handle, NCDC said that; “We are seeing an increase in the number of #COVID19 cases across states besides Lagos.
“This calls for #Nigerians to #TakeResponsibility, especially around – use of masks, mass gatherings & handwashing 🧼
“The health of each of us depends on our collective action”.
Current figures by NCDC showed that Lagos State is still maintaining the lead with 7,319 cases, followed by the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) with 1,264 cases and Kano in the position having recorded 1,158 cases till date.
