The President, theefore, urged Nigerians to obey all protocols recommended by health authorities to curtail the spread of the deadly coronavirus.
“Looking at the trends in other countries, we must do all we can to avert a second wave of COVID-19 in Nigeria. We must make sure that our cases, which have gone down, do not rise again. Our economy is too fragile to bear another round of lockdown,” @MBuhari tweeted.
