Federal government threatens to review relaxation of lockdown restrictions

The federal government has threatened to review the relaxation of the restriction placed on churches and mosques, if worshippers disregard its guidelines.

This comes as state governments reopen worship centres this weekend.

Chairman of the presidential task force on COVID-19 and secretary to the government of the federation, Boss Mustapha, made this known in Abuja.

He lamented that some Nigerians, who tested positive for the virus refused to go into isolation.

In the guidelines, the task force advises vulnerable people including those with conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cancer as well as people that are above 55 years to worship at home.

Mustapha said the task force would continue to explain the guidelines it issued to worship centres and other public places.
