1,300 Persons In Contact With COVID-19 Cases Yet To Be Traced – Lai Mohammed by deantimes(m): 3:26pm On Mar 23, 2020

Lai Mohammed, the Minister of Information and Culture, has said over 1,300 persons said to have had contact with Coronavirus cases in the country are yet to be traced.

Mr Mohammed stated this on Monday while announcing that tougher measures to curtial the spread of the pandemic disease will be effective soon.

He said the government is yet to trace over 1,300 persons who have met with those who have currently tested positive to COVID-19, the official name of the zoonotic disease which originated from China.

He advised that those who have met with COVID-19 cases should willingly submit themselves to authority or risk being fished out by security agencies.

“We should be ready for tougher measures. The forms they will take will be out from the end of today or tomorrow. But Nigerians should be ready for tougher measures,” the minister announced at a press briefing in Abuja.

“If we don’t do proper contact tracing, the figure will multiply every five days. Nigerians must take ownership of this initiative.

“We won’t hesitate to use whatever measure to ensure that you do not endanger other Nigerians. Containment is
very cheaper than cure. A few people have helped. If you know you traveled recently, give yourself up to relevant agencies.

”If the situation warrants, we may be forced to use the police and the military for contact tracing. The police is already working on that. We don’t want the figure we have now to multiply. We should work towards containment which is cheaper,” he said.

I don't know why they don't put a self quarantine in place. As long as people keep gathering, this will spread. It's not a good idea to let a journalist set the national Health emergency. The FG tends to do nothing at all to save a few lives, which superficially looks great...but at the expense of millions of jobs, bankruptcies, poor people unable to buy food, etc. Triage the entire system and accept that you can't save everybody. That is the world we live in. So to prevent deaths of a few thousand people who generally are already aged, sick, and susceptible, they are willing to risk an economic collapse, out of control debt, and destroy millions of lives. This just doesn't seem very wise to me. Anyways I wish our leaders had taken this seriously and insisted on testing, social distancing, and healthcare system prep early on, rather than playing Oshiomole and cabals. For weeks we all lived life as normal, allowing the virus to spread. Now we are going to witness the aftermath of that.

Time for prevention is over. The virus is here with us. Let's start focusing on Post-infection/Survival procedures or guidelines. This is what will save lives.

Useless government, they waited till the virus creeped in while saying rubbish on TV now it's clear they can't handle even 10 incidence not to talk of an outbreak.

If Lai says 1300, then it’s 130, 000

Said in another thread that Nigeria will be overrun in a week time. Nigerians be prepared and stock your houses if u can.

Even Chad (with all due respect) managed the Covid 19 pandemic more than the worst government ever known to mankind, led by Mumuharri bokoharii the presidiot.

This happens due to nonchalant attitude of FG by restricting movement into Nigeria. Pride of the so called big men and women who didn't present themselves for test as well as the disobedience of the laid down orders of most Nigerians by still involving with social activities . We Don enter am now

All the pastor's that held services yesterday should be arrested and quarantine everyone that attended any church yesterday. How can a pastor ever think of holding service if he has respect for humanity
