The fitness firm reminded Nigerians that combat opposing COVID-19 requires a collective effort of all.
“Everyone has a role to play in reducing the threat of COVID-19. We all want us to be able to come into contact with other inflamed people without symptoms.
“Protect others because they protect you. Wear a mask. Look at the physical distance. Wash your hands with soap and water,” he advised.
The NCDC said it was determined to build functional structures that would fight to rid Nigeria of the pandemic.
“This pandemic has greatly challenged us; it has also allowed us to explain what we want to do to save our future. History won’t judge us sympathetically if we don’t act,” he said. (NAN)
