To prevent the spread of the virus and other dangerous diseases, the NCDC encouraged Nigerians to sterilize regularly touched surfaces.

It underlined the importance of vaccinations as one of the most effective methods for combating the virus and encouraged Nigerians to get them.

Ensure that you receive your immunizations and booster doses. Vaccines provide the most effective protection against serious illness, hospitalization, and death.  In addition to immunizations, people at high risk should wear masks, avoid crowds, practice hand cleanliness, and so on.

Getting vaccinated protects you from the #COVID19 virus, which can cause serious sickness, hospitalization, and death.
