The President assured Nigerians that the federal ministry of health would continue to issue updates on all developments.
The statement read in parts: “I advise all Nigerians to follow to the letter, the health guidelines issued by the Federal Ministry of Health and our State Governments.
“Wash your hands thoroughly many times throughout the day. Observe ‘social distancing’ of a minimum of two metres.
”Do not make unnecessary journeys outside of your homes.
”Do not attend public meetings or public gatherings – including religious events – which is where, through social contact, the virus can easily be transmitted.
