“If we see anybody sneezing, we will take him as an index passenger; we are not going to say he or she has allergies. We are going to take the person as index passenger till we have handed them over to port health officials. They will be the ones to determine if he is allergic or has COVID-19,” He said.
He further enjoined ill people to stay at home and not travel by air.
This is coming after the Federal Government’s approval of resumption of domestic flight operations in the country, with effect from July 8, in Lagos and Abuja.
