COVID-19: DON’T USE FACE GUARDS ALONE, USE WITH FACEMASKS SAYS NCDC

The Nigerian Centre for Disease Control says the use of masks is more effective than face guards.

The Director-General of the NCDC, Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu, said this during the Presidential Task Force briefing on Thursday.

The NCDC boss said anyone who opts for face guard must still wear a mask underneath.

The use of face guards has become common in the last couple of weeks with governors and other top government functionaries using it in public places.
