The Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 says it has met with security chiefs in the country regarding the review of the protocols for implementing the 14-day lockdown in Lagos, Ogun and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

The Chairman of the task force and Secretary to the Government of the Federation, BOSS MUSTAPHA, who spoke during a live Presidential Task Force briefing on COVID-19 in Abuja, reiterated that the lockdown was for the benefit of the country and its citizens.

MUSTAPHA said the group met with the security chiefs to smoothen rough edges of implementation within the first day and is working on issuing an appropriate restriction protocol and exemption guidelines for the subsequent days of restrictions.
