Coronavirus Threat Not Over Yet – Osinbajo Warns
The Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, has warned Nigerians that the threat of the dreaded Coronavirus is not over.
Osinbajo stated this at the flag-off of Integrated Medical Outreach Programme (IMOP) on Monday in Abuja.
He further stated that the Federal Government is examining the readiness of the country’s health facilities, in the case of any incident.
The Vice President said, “There is no way one can speak on healthcare today without a mention of the Coronavirus pandemic.”
“Our robust and proactive preventive efforts have been widely praised and we must commend the Minister of Health, his team and all the public health services for their diligence and commitment.”
“But the threat is not over and as you can see, we are also examining the readiness of our health facilities for whatever eventualities that may arise.”
Naija News had earlier reported that the country announced its third case of the virus, with the virus now in 27 African countries.
