Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) and Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, Mr. Boss Mustapha, on Thursday, warned Nigerians against getting close to the Dubai returnees, now quarantined until they are given a clean bill of health.
Mr. Mustapha gave the warning in Abuja during the daily COVID-19 briefing.
Some returnees had in a viral video, on Wednesday, protested their ill treatment by the Nigerian Government since they voluntarily returned to the country.
According to him, “The PTF reported the progress made with the evacuation of some Nigerians from the UAE, UK and USA. We also informed you about the mandatory quarantine protocol.”

The SGF frowned at the conduct of some of these returnees in different audio-visual clips.
He continued, “The PTF is saddened by the conduct of some of the returnees who fail to adhere to the conditions attached to their quarantine.
“I strongly urge them to obey the rules in the facilities and also urge their friends and relations to recognise the contagious nature of the disease by desisting from visiting them. Complying is in the interest of the visiting relation and in the overall public interest.”
