Government of the Federation

He said this while complimenting survivors for presenting their experiences.
The chairman disclosed this at the briefing in
Abuja on Friday.

To discourage self-therapy, Boss Mustapha, however, strongly warned them from giving features of treatment.

He said.: “However, an emerging issue from all these testimonies is the issue of prescription for treatment.
We should always remember that the symptoms of COVID-19 mimic some illnesses we already know, but treating the symptoms is not the same as treating the virus. And for this reason, we strongly discourage self-medication;
We shall continue to encourage all Nigerians that see the symptoms to test, and if positive, go into the isolation centre for care by experts”
