WE the undersigned view with much apprehension and concern the current status of the Covid-19 outbreak in the country.
Our national metrics paint a very bleak picture of Covid-19 pandemic management.
Despite MCOs and other health interventions, the daily reported cases are not decreasing.
The Cumulative Incidence Density (per 100,000 population) and the Infection Rate (active cases per 1,000 population) is not flattening, with the latest national Infection Rate registered at 0.879 per 1,000 population, meaning between 8-9 persons are actively infected for every 10,000 people.

The testing positive rate (rolling 7-day average) is rising, registering 8.9pc on 3 Jan 2021, well above the WHO’s 5.0pc benchmark of effective pandemic control and containment.
