BREAKING: PTF CHAIRMAN, BOSS MUSTAPHA GOES INTO ISOLATION

Chairman of the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19, Boss Mustapha, has gone into self-isolation after some members of his family tested positive for the virus.


This comes less than 24 hours after Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu tested positive for the virus.


He announced this in a statement on Sunday night, December 13.


The statement reads; “I would like to inform the general public that some members of my household tested positive for COVID-19 yesterday (Saturday) evening.


“Although they are currently asymptomatic, they have been isolated and are receiving care in one of the government treatment centres.


“My wife and I tested negative, but will remain in self-isolation and work from home according to protocols by the health authorities.

“I would like to remind all Nigerians that COVID-19 is real. As the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) announced last week, we are recording an increase in cases across several states.


“Please stay safe and protect yourself. Adhere to all public health and safety measures so that we do not lose the gains we have made in the fight against COVID-19.


“As a family, we covet your prayers. Please Take Responsibility for yourself and to protect our country!”


This development comes on the heels of reports indicating that there is a surge in the number of COVID-19 infections recorded in Nigeria.

During the week, the Federal Government had alerted all Isolation centres to be ready for reopening.
