Boss Mustapha, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) and chairman of the Presidential Steering Committee (PSC) on COVID-19, has explained misconception about a new lockdown in the country.

Mustapha, speaking to NAN on Tuesday, explained the announcement made by the National Incident Manager, Dr. Mukhtar Mohammed, was taken out of context.

According to him, the curfew imposed earlier under Phase Three of the eased lockdown was not relaxed.
