PRESS STATEMENT
PSC SAYS VIDEO IN CIRCULATION NOT NEW
The Presidential Steering Committee (PSC) on COVID-19, wishes to inform the public that the audiovisual clip of the erstwhile National Coordinator under the defunct PTF circulating on the social media, is an old video and has nothing to do with the recent guidelines released.
#PSCCOVID19 states unequivocally that the recently released Implementation Guidelines is a reissue of the guidelines published on April 27, 2020 and not new as being speculated but to reinforce existing provisions of the COVID-19 Health Protection Regulations, 2021...
... to serve as a reminder that COVID-19 is still virulent.
The Presidential Steering Committee urges the public to disregard the old video of PTF circulating on the social media and to comply with Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions on COVID-19 in all their activities to avoid a surge as being experienced in some parts of the world.
All state governments are to please ensure strict compliance.
Signed
Willie Bassey
