The Nigerian government lifts restrictions placed on religious gatherings during the coronavirus pandemic.
Some of the recommendations made by the PTF to prevent the spread of Covid-19 as religious institutions and hotels open up include: managed access to markets and locations of economic activity to limit the risk of transmitting Covid-19, mandatory use of face masks and temperature checks in public places, and information campaigns on the dangers of the virus among others.
According to Mustapha, while making decisions to ease Covid-19 related restrictions, the task force took into consideration the advice of the World Health Organization on the need to improve case finding, testing, isolation and quarantining contacts, which the country is doing. In April, Ghana President Nana Akufo-Addo lifted a three-week lockdown in two cities, Accra and Kumasi, citing the severe impact of restrictions on the poor and vulnerable in the West African nation.
