The Federal Government is considering extension of the curfew hours as part of its response to the second wave of coronavirus pandemic in the country.

The National Coordinator of the Presidential Task Force, Dr. SANI ALIYU, who disclosed this at the PTF briefing in Abuja, said the Federal Government was in talks with state governments on the review of the curfew.

The PTF coordinator also sensitized health workers to be wary of patients who present persistent fever or shortness of breath; which he said is possibly going to be COVID.

Also at the briefing, the Minister of Education, Mallam ADAMU ADAMU, said the January 18 date for schools to resume was not sacrosanct.

He said the date would be subjected to a review as a new date might be announced.
