According to him, the people are the only ones that can work assiduously to ensure that the level of transmission is reduced now that it has gone into communities spreading.
“Nobody should be deceived that Nigeria has reached the peak of the pandemic,” Mustapha said.
He warned: “COVID -19 is real and because restrictions have been lifted is not a license for carelessness. Yes, we’ll return to a new normal, but not the normal of the past.
“Are figures going to rise? Yes, they’re. The quantum in which they grow is dependent on what we do.
“But as for the figures, we don’t want to delude anybody; they’ll rise. The quantum with which they’ll rise exponentially or gradually is dependent on what Nigerians do.”
The SGF warned that if the people decide to be careless because restrictions have been lifted, then the country will have a peak, “if we’re not careful, it can overwhelm even our health infrastructure.”
