President Muhammadu Buhari is scheduled to meet with members of the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 Tuesday afternoon, the Presidency has said.
The Presidency said this via its official Tweeter Handle on Tuesday.
It tweeted, “President Muhammadu Buhari will meet with the Presidential Task Force on Covid-19 this afternoon.”
The meeting will hold at the Aso Villa in Abuja and it is coming at a time the country is battling the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic.
The PTF Chairman and Secretary to Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, had on Monday, announced fresh guidelines to curb the spread of the virus for the next five weeks.
He had announced the closure of all bars, night clubs, pubs and event centres, and recreational venues.
This comes less than 24 hours after the federal government announced a partial shutdown for the next five weeks, in a bid to stem the second wave of Coronavirus across the country.
States and the FCT are to shut down all informal and formal festivity events including weddings, conferences, congresses, office parties, concerts, seminars, sporting activities.
Churches and Mosques should not be filled beyond 50 per cent of their installed capacity during worship and prayer time while face masks and social distancing are compulsory.
