Following the emergence of the new Covid-19 disease known as the Omicron variant, the Chairman on Covid-19 Tasks Force, who is also the Deputy Governor of Bauchi State, Senator Baba Tela, said the government has made all arrangements to fight the disease.
He enjoined the people of the state, especially the religious and traditional leaders to ensure total compliance with the safety protocols, particularly the Omicron variant.
He also urged those that are yet to receive their second dose of the vaccine, to go to the designated centres, as the vaccine will soon expire.
While assuring their maximum support and cooperation towards the fight against the disease, the religious leaders said they will sensitize their subjects on the effects of the virus, and the need for people to take the vaccines.
