The body admonished churches to conduct house fellowships or online service, noting that services could be broken into shifts of not more than 50 members per shift.

 “Our prayers should be that God should stop the spread of coronavirus in Nigeria and all over the world and God should protect Nigerians from this disease and heal those who have been infected already,” the statement said.
