The Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 has cautioned Nigerians of a possible third wave of the deadly COVID-19 disease.
This was made by the PTF Chairman, Boss Mustapha at the recent press briefing of the taskforce in Abuja.
He indicated that Nigeria’s bed occupancy reduced to 1.22 percent while active cases stood at 13, 245 as of March 14, 2021.
He stated that some countries are recording a third wave of the deadly disease while carrying out a vaccination process.
In his submission, he said;
“For the avoidance of doubt, the virus is very potent and people still get infected. It’s also a fact that the vaccination process has only just begun. It has been reported that some countries are recording a third wave of cases.
The PTF will like to caution Nigerians on home-based care as there may not be enough facilities and personnel to manage patients in times of emergencies.”
