The Nigeria Center for Disease Control, NCDC, has mourned the death of Abba Kyari, Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari.
NCDC in a post on its Twitter page displayed guidelines on safety measures to adhere to during burial of a Coronavirus patient.
The agency further warned Nigerians to avoid mass gatherings in order to stay safe from COVID-19.
This followed the death of Kyari who contracted the deadly virus weeks ago.
The tweet read: “Even at this time, as we mourn loved ones lost to COVID-19, including the recently deceased, President’s Chief of Staff, Mallam Abba Kyari, we need to refrain from attending mass gatherings to prevent the further spread of COVID-19.
“Let us stay safe and protect each other. Our guidance on ensuring safe and dignified burial.”
