Don’t shake hands, don’t hug, minister warns Nigerians

The Minister of Interior, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola has cautioned Nigerians to reduce the culture of handshakes and hugs to avoid contracting coronavirus (COVID-19).

Aregbesola said this at the ground-breaking ceremony of a 3000-capacity custodial centre in Karshi, Abuja on Thursday.

The minister urged the people to always stay three-feet away from one another and avoid crowded places. ”Don’t shake hands again; don’t hug for now except your family members. Maintain three-foot distance between you and the next person,” he warned.

Aregbesola also advised Nigerians to greet by bowing and touching their chests. He said that coronavirus had become a global emergency and all hands must be on deck to ensure it did not become a serious problem in Nigeria.
