COVID-19: it’s not yet time to lift ban on public gatherings, Health Group warns govs vanguardnews

The Health Sector Reform Coalition, HSRC, has warned state governors not to lift the ban on public gatherings especially at worship centres and market places to avoid the spread of the dreaded COVID-19 pandemic.

“HSRC with its membership of over 100 non-governmental actors, working to improve health care and development across every state in Nigeria, recognises and respects the importance of worship and religious celebrations to us Nigerians.” “With the high number of people living in poverty, high prevalence of chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes and very weak health systems, it will be catastrophic if the virus spreads widely in Nigeria.

” Because our testing is grossly inadequate, the true numbers of cases in Nigeria may be hidden. It is highly likely that community spread is happening because up to 85% of the infected may be asymptomatic yet capable of transmitting the virus. ” Asks all Nigerians to please continue to listen to the advice of health experts represented by NCDC and WHO at this critical time. Nothing is more important than staying alive.”
