The Federal Ministry of Health says it has deployed personnel nationwide to disinfect and decontaminate public places.
The ministry’s Director of Press, Saghir el Mohammed, in a statement, said personnel of the Department of Pollution Control and Environmental Health as well as the Environmental Health Officers Council of Nigeria were handling this at markets, motor parks, airports, schools and other congested areas.
“We’ve also activated Environmental Health Desks in all the 774 Local Government Areas in the country to vigorously pursue grassroots advocacy, offer guidance and counselling and to disinfect and decontaminate all risk-prone areas,” he added.
