The Environmental Health Officers Association (EHOAN) has reported that the use of Automated Teller Machines ( ATMs) from banks in Nigeria was a source of coronavirus transmission to the population.

Taiwo Awonuga, chapter president of EHOA Lagos, raised the alarm in a Friday interview with Nigeria News Agency (NAN) in Lagos.

Awonuga urged the Presidential Task Force (PTF) to pressure banks to open more cash dispensing outlets immediately to avoid the spread of the virus.

Awonuga lamented that at many points of ATMs across the world , social distancing was being ignored.

He appealed to financial institutions to ensure their customers obey all safety guidelines.

The health officers advised banks to streamline their services in accordance with the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control’s (NCDC) recommendations.

“The rat-race going on in many ATMs outlets is not good for the fight against communal transmission of the pandemic. People line up in the sun amidst sweat and droppings from their bodies.

“It calls for a change in attitude from banks and customers too, if we must halt community spread of the coronavirus, especially in the suburb where ATMs are few but attract crowds.

“The confusion at ATM points are a common sight in the country because people need money to cater for daily needs. In that zeal to get cash, they lose their guard and get infected by vectors around them,’’ he said.
