The Federal Government has said it will release a new travel protocol as a proactive measure to prevent the Omicron COVID-19 variant from entering Nigeria.
This was disclosed by the National Incident Manager of the Presidential Taskforce on COVID-19, Mukhtar Muhammad, during a media briefing on Monday in Abuja.
Muhammad noted that although no case of the variant has been detected in Nigeria, the Presidential Steering Committee has taken far-reaching proactive measures to minimize and mitigate this possibility.
