Health sector workers under the aegis of the Joint Health Sector Union (JOHESU) have asked the Federal and state governments to include them in the task force against the disease.
They demanded that their members should be enlisted in the implementation of the various economic stimulus measures, interventions and palliatives outlined by President Muhammadu Buhari in his national broadcast, insisting that their inclusion would motivate health professionals and other essential service providers in the country.
The demands were contained in a statement issued by National Chairman and Secretary of the JOHESU, comrades Bio Joy Josiah and Mrs. Ekpebor Florence.
JOHESU urged Nigerians to adhere strictly to all instructions or regulations, including the stay-at-home order and work from home directives to guide against further spread of the virus.
The association charged Nigerians to maintain good hygiene by washing their hands with soap frequently, use appropriate alcohol-based hand sanitisers, observe social distancing and stay safe.
“JOHESU and the Assembly of Healthcare Professionals (AHPA) urge all health workers to support government in containing the spread of coronavirus, otherwise called COVID-19 pandemic,” the statement reads.
