Also on Sunday after leading members of the PTF to President Muhammadu Buhari and discuss the committee’s recommendations on the next phase of the battle, Mustapha said there was nothing to despair as the country strikes a balance between livelihoods and life. He said: “We are winning. As a matter of fact, you juxtapose the rate of cases with our fatality rate, which is basically about three per cent, in other countries and other climes, it’s over 10 per cent, but the most important thing that you will realise, when we started this exercise, we had only five testing stations, now we’ve ramped it up to 28, without correspondent increase in the number of deaths. We’ve gone beyond 60,000 tests now.
