There maybe another round of lockdown early 2021 says one of President Muhammadu Buhari’s media aides, Tolu Ogunlesi.
Ogunlesi gave the hint in a tweet on Monday afternoon saying the measures will be “desperate attempts at curve-flattening”.
“From a COVID-19 POV, looks like H1 2021 will be a lot like 2020 – restrictions, lockdowns, desperate attempts at curve-flattening.
“That’s probably the second most daring roguish feat 2020 has pulled off – this act of deluding us all into regarding it as an aberration,” he wrote.
Buhari ordered up to three months of lockdown across the country, as Nigeria battled the COVID-19 pandemic in the first quarter of 2020.
On Sunday night, the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) confirmed 418 new COVID-19 infections, taking the country’s total cases to 73,175 cases.
