They are developing plans to rollout guidelines for the reopening of schools across the country, while considering morning and afternoon classes to ensure physical distancing. This is in addition, to developing sector specific advisories for the reopening of various sectors of the economy .The Federal Ministry of Health confirmed that Nigeria along with number of African countries including South Africa has agreed to partake in the UN’s solidarity trials which is seeking a vaccine for the virus.
