As a precautionary measure, CAN advised churches to adopt house cell-based service or online service.
“Where possible, particularly for churches who do not have an online system, services can be broken into shifts of not more than 50 members in each shift.
“Each branch/assembly should provide alcohol-based hand rub (sanitiser) for use, regular washing of hands with soap and water; use of the same towel is not allowed.
“Maintain at least 1 meter (3 feet) distance between yourself and anyone who is coughing or sneezing, avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth.
“Drink hot water regularly, practice respiratory hygiene. This means covering your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze. Then dispose the used tissue immediately.
“If you have fever, cough and difficulty in breathing, then seek medical care early, do not panic. Always pray with Psalm 91 and have faith in God,” CAN added. NIGERIAN TRIBUNE
