Indiscriminate face masks’ disposal: Can Nigeria beat plastic pollution? By Tue Jul 13 2021 To control the spread of the coronavirus in Nigeria, several implementation guidelines were put in place by the then Presidential Task Force on COVID-19. The task force, now known as the Presidential Steering Committee on COVID-19, listed measures such as the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), social distance, and restriction of mass gathering to a limited number. It also listed regular hand washing, mandatory use of face masks in public places, among others. The production and usage of face masks increased as the COVID-19 pandemic persisted, with most of the masks containing plastics or other derivatives of plastics.
