Nigeria's health minister, Osagie Ehanire, said schools will reopen when they are done measuring and establishing the risk of transmission

- While some parents are tired of keeping their kids at home, others are opposed to the idea of sending their children back to school as there is no cure yet for the coronavirus

No date has been fixed yet for reopening of schools, the federal government has said.

The federal government is taking the prevention of a spike in the rate of infection very seriously and is therefore still monitoring situations, The Nation reports.

This was disclosed by the health minister, Dr. Osagie Ehanire, during the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 100th day briefing in Abuja.
