With over 70, 000 COVID-19 cases in the country, People Living with Non-Communicable Diseases, PLWNCDs, have expressed worry that the second wave of coronavirus infections may drastically impact the population, calling on the Federal government to prioritise response to the pandemic.
According to experts, the PLWNCDs are more vulnerable and susceptible to the COVID-19 and it has been confirmed that they are at a substantially higher risk of becoming severely ill and die as a direct consequence of this pandemic.
Sadly, the high mortality and morbidity amongst PLWNCDs would be on a progressive increase with the recent resurgence of COVID 19 in Nigeria.
