The Director-General of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), Chikwe Ihekweazu, has said its better to wear face mask than to be on ventilator.

 

“Wearing a mask may seem very cumbersome but I promise you that it is less cumbersome than being on a ventilator, he said during a briefing of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19.

 

“Over the last few weeks, many of you may have heard stories of survivors but there are many stories that could have been told that you have not heard, stories of those that have passed away,” he said.

 

The NCDC boss also advised Nigerians of the need to take responsibility by ensuring safe to ensure that their lives and those of their loved ones are preserved.
