JUST IN: FG Makes Shocking Order On COVID-19 Across Nigeria

The federal government has directed all COVID-19 Isolation Centres across the country to immediately activate their facilities in anticipation of a possible spike in infection.

Minister of Health, Dr. OSAGIE EHANIRE, gave the directive in Abuja at a media briefing on COVID-19 update after the government said it had identified 10 positive cases of COVID-19 Delta variant in passengers who came in mostly from the Lagos and Abuja airports.

The minster said the federal government had deployed rapid testing kits at all official entry points to the country, including the Idioroko and Seme border posts, to ensure stricter monitoring and prevention of disease importation into Nigeria.
