Oyogist has learned that Presidential Steering Committee (PSC) on COVID-19 has added south Africa to the list of banned flights.
”South Africa has, however, been added to this category once more.” he said.
“In addition to these three countries, the PSC has also shifted its focus on some African countries.
”South Africa, Zambia, Rwanda, Namibia and Uganda fall in this category.
“South Africa for example, recorded over 100,000 cases in the last one week while 20,000 was recorded in the last 24 hours.
”The four major variants of concern are now classified as Alpha (UK), Beta (SA); Gamma (Brazil) and Delta (India).
“The Delta variant which has wreaked devastating havoc, is not yet found in Nigeria hence the need to tighten our borders and be more vigilant,” the SGF said.
