Physical Distancing Replaces Social Distancing – NCDC
The Director-General, NCDC, Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu, said the team had adopted physical distancing to replace social distancing that was earlier prescribed for Nigerians.
He said this was so because of the huge population of the country and its high density, which was rated fifth in the world. He said the closeness of people living in a geographical space made it easy to spread the coronavirus.
Ihekweazu said record had shown that mobility in Nigeria had reduced by 27 per cent. According to him, the figure has to be lower to ensure that the virus is completely eradicated from Nigeria. He noted that the obstacle would be bigger if economic and other activities were restarted before getting over the burden.
The NCDC DG said 91 per cent contacts of all confirmed cases had been identified as of Thursday.
He said, “In the 30 per cent of the cases we have, we have not figured out how they got the infection. That is an early indicator of community spread. We can confirm that we know 91 per cent of all the contacts of all the confirmed cases.”
