Please @NCDCgov should get people to retrieve the PPE ignorantly dumped by this character and have him arrested and quarantined as well as most of the people at this event. This will be another hub for the spread of the Coronavirus. They must not infect others before their arrest pic.twitter.com/kDgqRMrM4G

And as the body was being moved from the ambulance by NCDC staff, safety measures were observed.

Hand gloves and sanitisers were being shared, as all cleaned their hands and wore gloves.

Malam Garba Shehu, the President’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, had said that as advised by the protocols put in place by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) and the Federal Ministry of Health on social distancing, the burial marks the end of all ceremonies and there will be no condolence visits to family and the Presidency.

Eternal vigilance is essential at this point. If a birthday party that contravenes social distancing rule attracted an arrest this too must pass for same. The character that did this should be arrested today. He shouldn’t be hard to trace. Arrest him now. #StopTheSpread ? pic.twitter.com/ox8cjXQ8Xe
