Majority of Nigerians at the risk of contracting COVID-19 – FG

But at the PTF press conference, Mustapha warned that a majority of Nigerians were at the risk of contracting coronavirus.

He stated,  “​Nigeria witnessed a spike in number of confirmed cases when the number of recorded cases jumped to 663 on Tuesday, 9th June, 2020. This number gives us cause for concern as a task force and as a nation.

“In the PTF briefing on Monday, 8th June, 2020, I emphasized that a great majority of Nigerians are still susceptible to COVID-19 and cautioned that if we allow it to transmit easily among  us, it may be even more deadly. That admonition remains very valid and we still underscore vigilance and self-preservation.”
