Reopening of Schools: PTF advises States to proceed with caution


 The Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 has disclosed that it was not against the preparations by some states to fully reopen schools but advised the states to be guided by the experiences of countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and France.

According to the PTF Chairman and Secretary to the Government of Federation, Boss Mustapha during a PTF briefing in Abuja on Monday, the Presidential Task Force appreciates ongoing calls for the reopening of the education sector. And indeed, some sub-nationals are already making preparations for such.


Whilst the PTF does not discourage such preparations, we need to be guided by experiences from countries such as Germany, France, the US, and the UK where the opening of schools in some cities led to confirmed cases and fatalities.” He stated.
