The National Coordinator of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, Sani Aliyu, stated this at a briefing in Abuja.

Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, had on Monday, said the Federal Government has no plan to impose a fresh lockdown as the country battles the second wave of the pandemic.

But speaking on Thursday, the PTF Coordinator said the rising number of cases being recorded in the country were concerning and might require a fresh lockdown.

“If these numbers continue to go up and we start having significant deaths, we will have no option. If we do not want to lock down, now is the time to make sure that we follow the non-pharmaceutical interventions,” he said.

PTF Chairman and Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, who spoke earlier, said: “The Presidential Task Force is very concerned about the increasing daily numbers that we are recording.

“On 6th of January 2021, we recorded 1,664 infections. This is yet another all-time high in Nigeria and we must all take full responsibility through compliance and vigilance.”

The Federal Government had in March 2020 locked down the Federal Capital Territory as well as Lagos and Ogun States for over five weeks as part of measures to curb the spread of COVID-19 during the first wave of the pandemic.
