Second wave of coronavirus: Nigerian Government orders closure of nightclubs

The Nigerian Government has ordered the immediate closure of bars, nightclubs, and restaurants across the country, as well as limiting number of guests at party and conferences to fifty, and this followed the confirmation of a second wave of coronavirus in the country

Penpushing reports that the Chairman of the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on coronavirus, Boss Mustapha, made this known on Monday at a press briefing, explaining that the new guidelines are part of measures to limit the spread of the virus.

The taskforce boss disclosed that President Muhammadu Buhari has authorised the taskforce to engage with the states and the  Federal Capital Territory(FCT) to assume full ownership of this stage of the response by deploying legal structures and resources to enforce and manage the pandemic within their jurisdictions:

“In line with the authorisation, the PTF wishes to issue the following advisories to sub-national entities for implementation over the next five weeks because these activities are considered super spreader events’, he stated:

“Close All bars, night clubs, pubs and event centres, and recreational venues; close all restaurants except those providing services to hotel residents; takeaways, home deliveries and drive-ins shall remain closed,” he said.

Penpushing further reports that, in the last few weeks Nigerians have shown disregards to the coronavirus protocols, and therefore there is palpable fear that the country may soon go into second phase of the upsurge cases of the virus
