“I will address the nation tomorrow at 8:00pm regarding the COVID-19 situation,” said the president.

“The address will be live on all Television and Radio stations. Ensure that you tune in. Thank you.”

One of the recommendations from the taskforce to the president, reports claim, is a three-week lockdown.

As the economy reels from the effects of the first lockdown, there are fears another shutdown would be more devastating.
