COVID-19 : Catholic Church Donates 425 Hospitals , Clinics in Nigeria As Isolation Centres -FGN

As reported by Vanguard online newspaper, Catholic Bishops Conference has volunteered all its 425 hospitals and clinics nationwide for adaptation and use as isolation centres.

This was made known by the Presidential Task Force in its daily briefing on the COVID-19 pandemic on Monday while encouraging state governors to approach Catholic Bishops in their states to access the facilities.

The Chairman of the PTF and Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha said it will soon be impossible for state capitals to contend with the numbers that would be thrown at them, hence the need to accept every offer of bed space from good spirited individuals and organisations.

“As part of efforts to support the States in the establishment of the Isolation and treatment centres, I wish to remind our Governors that the Catholic Bishops Conference has volunteered all the 425 hospitals and clinics nationwide for adaptation and use as isolation centres.

“Governors are encouraged to please approach Catholic Bishops in their states to access these facilities”, said Boss Mustapha .
