The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) has disclosed that about 20 doctors have died from COVID-19 complications in the past one week.
Abuja chapter chairman of the association, Enema Amodu made this known during a chat with journalists yesterday, December 25 2020.
“Everywhere around the world at this time, we are facing a second wave, and this second wave is so overwhelming and more catastrophic because a lot of people have gone back to the way of doing things thinking that the virus is over, and it is gone and they have let their guards down.”
He noted that health workers in the country are in dire need of Personal Protective Equipment to help keep them safe from the virus.
In addition, he stated that they are going through difficulties in handling most cases due to the absence of these equipment. He also advised residents to obey all COVID-19 directives.
