The Federal government has expressed disappointment over the United Kingdom government’s placement of Nigeria on its red list following the detection of the COVID-19 Omicron variant.
Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire who made this known during an interview with newsmen said the government is not happy when six countries in Sub-Saharan Africa were placed on a red list.
According to Ehanire, the move was ill-advised, noting that it would have multiple impacts on commerce, and disrupt activities during the Christmas and New Year festivities.
The Minister, while reiterating that the placement of countries on the red list will not help in the global fight against the pandemic, said Nigeria is anticipating the fourth wave of the disease.
