Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha on behalf of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 on Monday said the increasing rate of COVID-19 cases among people in government may lead to the possibility of ordering a fresh total lockdown to curtail further spread of the virus.

Mustapha who stated this at the task force press briefing in Abuja, said the increasing rate was directly impacting on governance and security in the country.

He also said the possibility of ordering a fresh total lockdown to curtail further spread of the virus could not be ruled out going by the current indices.

The SGF advised prominent Nigerians to take COVID-19 protocols seriously, said the virus does not respect status.
