The Federal Government, on Thursday, said it will have no option other than to impose a fresh lockdown on the country if the rising cases of Covid infections recorded lately continue.
The National Coordinator of the Presidential Task Force on Covid-19, Sani Aliyu, stated this during a briefing in Abuja.
Recall that the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, on Monday, said the Federal Government has no plan to impose a fresh lockdown as the country battles the second wave of the pandemic.
But speaking on Thursday, the PTF Coordinator said the rising Covid infections recorded of recent in the country were concerning and might require a fresh lockdown.
Also, the PTF Chairman, who is the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, (SGF), Boss Mustapha, who spoke earlier, said the Presidential Task Force is very concerned about the increasing daily numbers that we are recording.
