The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) says it supports the Federal Government’s decision to reopen schools for the second term of the 2020/2021 academic session because the benefits of having children in school outweighs the risks of transmission of COVID-19.
The Director-General of NCDC, Dr Chikwe Ihekweazu, gave the reasons at the ongoing Virtual Plenary Session and Annual General Meeting of the Paediatric Association of Nigeria (PAN) in Lagos on Friday.
Newsmen report that the theme of the event is, “Child Survival in Nigeria Amid COVID-19 Pandemic: Issues, Challenges and Way Forward”.
According to Ihekweazu, though children are not the face of COVID-19 at the moment, they risk being among its highest and biggest victims.
