FG contemplates another COVID-19 lockdown in Lagos, Abuja

The Federal Government has revealed that it is contemplating a lockdown in Lagos, Abuja, Kaduna and major cities in Nigeria due to the rising number of COVID-19 cases.

Lagos, Africa’s largest city of at least 20 million people, was grounded to a halt last year as it was lockedown to stop the spread of the coronavirus.

The National Incident Manager of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, Dr Mukhtar Muhammad, made this known on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily.

Mukhtar Muhammad said;

“Certainly, even if we are going to have a lockdown, it is not going to be a total lockdown. A couple of weeks back, we analysed the data and we identified the hotspot local government areas,”

“Mostly, the areas affected are the urban local governments in Lagos, Abuja, Kaduna, Plateau. Even in most other states, it is the urban areas that are involved. So, if we are going to have any restrictions, it will be in these areas.

“The urban areas are the most affected and that is why we have these superspreaders and that is where we are going to target. We have analysed that and we are advising the states based on the data that these are the focused areas where these transmissions are more than the others.”
