Schools To Remain Shut – Nigerian Government

Pupils and students will stay longer at home because schools cannot reopen soon, the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 said on Thursday.

The government cited the need to protect the vulnerable and halt the spread of the virus in communities as reasons.

Besides, the government is worried about the rising cases of the virus pandemic in the country.

School children were sent home in March to prevent Coronavirus spread.

Mustapha described school resumption as delicate since Nigeria had entered the phase of community spread of the virus.

Mustapha said over 800 frontline health workers involved in the COVID-19  fight had been infested by the virus.
