Chairman of the PTF and Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, made this known on Monday during a media briefing in Abuja.

He said, “It is however very instructive to stress that factors that have contributed to rise in numbers from late November 2020 included increased local and international travels, business and religious activities, reopening of schools without strict compliance with COIVID-19 safety measures.
