There were strong indications on Sunday that relevant state governments and the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control were not enforcing the 14-day self-isolation for inbound international travellers.
The PUNCH gathered that no official of the NCDC or the concerned state governments was attached to the new arrivals, who were expected to be in isolation in their homes for 14 days.
The Federal Government on February 9 placed travel restrictions on 100 passengers for failing to comply with the mandatory Day 7 post-arrival COVID-19 test.
Government had in January placed similar travel restrictions on 100 travellers who failed to undergo the compulsory COVID-19 test after returning into the country.
