The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has caused many people to question their social actions in the face of it. Despite being anti-COVID-19 compliant, people still gather together at social gatherings, even when the menu is missing. The Merriam Webster dictionary has added new words to its treasure trove of neologisms, such as social distancing, index case and super spreader, and the French Academy has concluded that the linguistic gender is feminine and coronavirus is masculine. People have postponed their weddings because they want to have a wedding with the usual crowd, and some have whittled down their wedding size to a unitary number, not even double digits. However, the virus is still the unseen enemy that has even reinforced itself by mutating into different variants now present in more than 60 countries. The national call to link our National Identification Number (NIN) to our phone numbers is a temptation to kiss the virus, and the new variants are more transmissible. Vaccines are being rolled out, and getting vaccines is not an open season to attending social engagements.

The midnight to four in the morning movement restrictions put in place in 2019 to slow the spread of COVID 19 in the nation were officially withdrawn yesterday by the federal government. In a statement, Boss Mustapha, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) and Chairman of the Presidential Steering Committee on COVID-29, made the announcement. He said that the decision was made in response to a lower danger of the introduction of novel variations, a decrease in pandemic cases, the availability of vaccines, and an increase in the number of people in Nigeria and around the world who have received vaccinations. However, the SGF emphasised that any political events involving sizable crowds must rigorously abide with COVID 19 regulations established by the Independent National and Electoral Commission (INEC). While there are no restrictions on flying, he continued, people must follow any current laws.
