The Director-General of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) has hinted at the resumption of burial and wedding ceremonies in a short while.
NCDC Director-General, Chikwe Ihekweazu, revealed this while speaking at the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 on Thursday.
He, however, emphasised that this does not mean the guidelines on mass gatherings have been relaxed.
“We may also restart the funeral activities that we have postponed for months, start the weddings, wine carryings, birthing, baptisms that we have postponed for months.
“Yes, it’s important to do these things and the interstate travel will allow us to do this but remember we haven’t relaxed the guidelines of mass gatherings,” he said.
