FG Release New Directive On Face Masks

According to the federal government, the final relaxation of the measures will be taken after Easter.

 
The federal government has issued new directives on the use of face masks in public places.
 
The Muhammadu Buhari-led government says it is now optional to use face masks in public.
 
According to the federal government, the final relaxation of the measures will be taken after Easter.
 
The Secretary of the Presidential Steering Committee on COVID-19, Muktar Muhammed, disclosed this in an interview with Punch in Abuja.
 
PSC further stated that it would stop demanding proof of PCR tests from fully vaccinated travellers.
 
Muhammed stated, “We are easing up restrictions, but it’s important we do so responsibly.

“Last week, we suspended the limit placed on public gatherings, curfews and other social measures.

“The use of face masks in open spaces is now discretionary.

“We shall not hesitate to remove all mandates once the disease is no longer of public health consequence. We are aware that cases are rising in the Western Pacific and Eastern Europe. The US just mandated a fourth dose of COVID-19 vaccine for adults older than 50. We fear a reversal of the pandemic situation, where largely unvaccinated poor countries will be made to bear the burden, because the West has developed very high immunity through large scale vaccination.

“Our biggest fear now is the upcoming Easter holidays. If we are able to cross and the cases continue to go down with no significant increase in hospitalisation and death, then certainly, we will lower down our level of alertness and relax most of the measures.

“We are working with data and algorithms to determine our line of action. Everything depends on what happens next. We learn from other countries, but we don’t have to necessarily copy what they are doing. Every country should evaluate its risk and take responsibility.”
