The national publicity secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan,
in a statement urged Nigerians not to despair over the situation but to remain at alert and redouble their efforts in adhering to health safety directives including social distancing, personal hygiene, early report of symptoms, wearing of face mask in the public among others, especially with the easing of the lockdown.
The PDP called on governments at all levels to ensure more multisectoral and multilayered responses to the pandemic particularly in the areas of sensitization, monitoring, caregiving as well as therapeutic and non-therapeutic intervention to check the COVID-19 transmission and mortality rates in the country.
“Our party restates its commendation to our health workers and others on the frontline for their sacrifices at this trying time and urged Nigerians to reciprocate such gesture by keeping safe,” the statement added.
