Face mask is for those infected - NCDC DG, Chikwe Ihekweazu reveals why he doesn't wear face masks

The Director General of Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu has explained why he doesn't wear face masks like other members of the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 during joint briefings.



Chikwe who disclosed that the face mask should be for those infected or the medical frontline medical personnel attending the suspected cases or treating COVID-19 patients, revealed that the country is yet to develop a policy for wearing of face masks.



He said;




“This is a strategy we need to think about before we implement it. Before we implement a national strategy around mask wearing, we have to be sure we can provide it or at least enable access to it. We will allow for the risk assessment and as the evidence comes together, we will make a decision based on the evidence and ability to provide every Nigerian with access to mask."



The NCDC director also disclosed that the NCDC is almost done with the face mask policy but the draft is still being looked at by the agency.



He added;




“Last week, I did say we would release a policy on face masks. That policy has almost been completed. In fact, the draft is now being looked at by various colleagues to make sure that we are all alive. By tomorrow or next, we would be releasing that policy for all of us to align with.”

He also threw a shade at Pastor Chris who he said he is disappointed in for putting out a graph to show a link between 5G, Coronavirus and the Antichrist. He adviced everyone to stay indoors amid the lockdown over Coronavirus outbreak.







Pastor Ashimolowo affirmed that he knows the Antichrist will come and also play some "pranks", but insisted that the current challenges the world is facing is not the handiwork of the Antichrist. He concluded by stating that the world is facing a pandemic which Jesus spoke of in Mathew 24:8.



Here is the video below;





Recall that Pastor Chris Oyakhilome who was preaching to his congregation on a live TV program few days ago, stated that the pandemic was created to popularize the 5G network which is gradually gaining attention across the world.



He added that these are part of the Antichrist's plan for a new world order which includes; one world government, one world religion and one world economy. Pastor Chris backed his claim with Revelation Chapter 13.
