The health agency reminded Nigerians that the fight against COVID-19 required a collective effort from all.
“Everyone has a role to play to reduce the risk of COVID-19. We must all remember that we can come in contact with infected people with no symptoms.
“Protect others as they take responsibility to protect you. Wear a face mask. Observe physical distancing. Wash your hands frequently with soap and water,” it advised.
The NCDC said that it was committed to building functional structures that would strengthen the fight to rid Nigeria of the pandemic.
“This pandemic has challenged us greatly; it has also provided us clarity on what we need to do to secure our future. History will not judge us kindly if we fail to act,” it said.
