The PSC warned that all States of the Federation should heighten their state of preparedness and continue to enforce all protocols put in place, given the renowned greater ease of spread of the Delta variant.

The statement also announced some recommendations to avoid the spread of infections during and after the celebration of the Islamic festival of Eid-el-Kabir which comes up on Tuesday, July 20.

It said rather than allowing large gatherings at community central prayer grounds, outside of the neighbourhood mosques where Friday prayers are usually said should be used for the eid prayer.
