In a statement received by Daily Dates Nigeria on Sunday night, PSC has further explained that the “precautionary measures are a necessary step to mitigate the risk of importation of variants of concern and break the chain of transmission to the population.

“Under the new measures, passengers arriving from/or that have visited any of these three countries within fourteen (14) days prior to the visit to Nigeria, are required to follow mandatory arrival quarantine and testing protocols in designated facilities.

“The Presidential Steering Committee (PSC) has however observed that while most of the arriving passengers dutifully observed the guidelines, some (Nigerians and Foreigners) have violated them in contravention of the provisions of the CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) HEALTH REGULATIONS PROTECTION, 2021.

“Accordingly, the underlisted persons who arrived in Nigeria between 8th May 2021 and 15th May 2021 through the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos and Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja and whose names and passport numbers are displayed, have been declared Persons of Interest (POI) on account of posing considerable danger to overall public health and for the violation of Nigeria COVID-19 travel protocol by evading the mandatory 7-day quarantine for persons arriving from restricted countries.

“Members of the public are by this notice advised that these persons of interest constitute an immediate health hazard to the society. They must therefore transport themselves safely, to the nearest state public health departments within 48hrs of this notice for immediate evaluation and call the Port Health Services, Federal Ministry of Health on 08036134672 or 08032461990 for further directions.

The PSC shall in addition, take further steps to sanction these violators. These steps include:
Disabling their travel passports for a period not less than one year;
Cancelation of visas/ permits of foreigners that have abused our hospitality; and
Prosecution under the 2021 Health Protection Regulations.

The post FG Declares 90 In-bound Passengers Wanted, Set To Disable Their Passports appeared first on Daily Dates Nigeria.

In the video below, Professor Tomori speaks on the COVID-19 vaccine and women.

Can pregnant women and lactating mothers receive the COVID-19 vaccine?

The post FAQ: Is COVID-19 Vaccine Safe For Pregnant & Lactating Women? (Video) appeared first on Daily Dates Nigeria.

In a statement released on Thursday night, it said: “The attention of the Presidential Task Force on COVID -19 has been drawn to some mis-information circulating on the social media to the effect that the Federal Government is contemplating another lockdown this weekend.

“The PTF wishes to state categorically that there is no such consideration at any of its meetings nor has any recommendatimbeen made to this effect to the President.

“The PTF frowns at such unpatriotic mis-information which is capable of causing unnecessary panic and anxiety among the populace.

“It urges Nigerians to disregard the mis-information and join hands with the Federal Government to contain the spread of the virus in the country by adhering to Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions (NPI’s) as recommended by the PTF.

The post COVID-19: PTF Dismisses Fake News Of Another Lockdown appeared first on Daily Dates Nigeria.

“The reduction in the test positivity ratio to less than 5% further corroborates the belief that the epidemic curve is flattening, despite the unsatisfactory testing rate in the country attributable to general apathy among the populace”, said the Chairman of PTF, Boss Mustapha.

He disclosed that only Lagos state and the FCT have achieved the target of testing one percent of their population while only three states – Plateau, Gombe and Rivers attained half of the set target.

Mustapha said Nigeria is not ready for a full reopening of the economy although the President has  approved that that Nigeria further relaxes the restrictions in this third phase of the response, while maintaining key limitations to curb the risk of a spike in cases.

The major changes proposed by the PTF are as follows:

✓ Gradual and safe re-opening of schools and NYSC camps;
✓ Restoration of sporting leagues, in particular all outdoor activities such as football;
✓ Sustaining the midnight- 4am curfew on movement nationwide; and
✓ Removal of the limitation on civil servants allowed to come to work.

Other measures approved by  the President include:
(i) Maintaining the third Phase of the National Response to COVID-19 for a period of four weeks with effect from 00.01am on Monday, 19th October, 2020 in line with amendments to address economic, socio-political and health considerations reflected in the table above;
(ii) Sustain engagement with States and Local Governments to improve community sensitisation and sample collection;
(iii) Continue to monitor the impact of school re-opening and the commencement of international travel and enforcing compliance with the protocols set out for the safe resumption of these activities; and
(iv) Maintaining the already established non-pharmaceutical interventions nationwide in order to flatten the curve.

The National Coordinator, Dr. Sanni Aliyu said  spectators will not be allowed at sports venues. Mass gathering is still limited to 50 persons.

He said civil servants of all grades can now return to work in shifts while supervisors must ensure strict  compliance with COVID-19 protocols.

He said curve remains from 12 midnight till 4 am nationwide; air transportation is now fully restored; managers of commercial outfits and hospitality centres must ensure compliance with non-pharmaceuitical measures while bars and night clubs remain closed.

The post COVID-19: The Curve Is Flattening In Nigeria – PTF appeared first on Daily Dates Nigeria.

Foreign Affairs Minister, Geoffrey Onyeama, during the daily Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 Press Briefing, disclosed that the two government bodies are ready to disburse over a billion naira for the project.

Onyeama said the funding is part of their Corporate Social Responsibility to join the federal government in combating the coronavirus pandemic.

The post COVID-19: NNPC, CBN Set To Cater For The Needs Of Evacuees appeared first on Daily Dates Nigeria.

The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, and Chairman of the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19, Boss Mustapha, revealed this during the daily briefing by members of the PTF on Friday.

The SGF said: “I am pleased to report that the Office of the Accountant General has published details of inflow into the Federal Government COVID-19 Eradication Support Account.

“As of 14th May 2020, the sum of 792, 121, 613. 89 naira has been credited into the TSA account from the various E-country sources”.

He explained that the disclosure was predicated on the fact that the committee had promised to make all-cash donations public and in line with President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration on accountability and transparency.
