Atleast dey are doing a whole lot right.. They have tested thousands and have been able to curb d spread.. Can we say d same? Until we are able to curb d spread and test more ppl with aggressive contact tracing, we are going nowhere and would only help d virus spread like wildfire if we try to copy dem

Ghana had over 200 new cases yesterday alone. They are not better off when compared to Nigeria.

I think it will be good for the states that have not recorded any new cases for straight one week or more to review their lockdowns while Lagos,Kano and Abuja should still be kept under close watch.There must be a degree of flexibility and dynamism for the economic revival.

Not only that. They compulsorily quarantined close to 3,000 incoming travellers in March and detected close to 150 cases among the travellers, thus limiting imported cases. We did not do that here and we are seeing the result.

Ghana citizens rejoice as their president lifts ban of 21 days lockdown

Residents of the capital, Accra, and major centers will be allowed to return to work from Monday even though other restrictions such as school closures and a ban on sport and religious meetings remain in place, Akufo-Addo said Sunday in a televised address.

See video below

This is a big lesson to Nigeria.

Nigeria political leaders have no choice than to ease the restriction.

Federal and state government should allow their citizen to go and resume their daily businesses and jobs.

They are tired of this NEEDLESS LOCKDOWN.

Convid 19 is a tool for GROSS CORRUPTION by government officials.

Ghana has spent the three-week lockdown to conduct more than 68,000 tests and draw-up plans to establish testing centers in all of its 16 regions, Akufo-Addo said. Local factories commenced the production of protective equipment while drone services are used to speed-up the transportation of tests, he said.

I hope the Minister of Health and the NCDC boss are learning. In sane climes, these two would have been sacked for recklessly endangering the public with their careless actions. I hope State Governors take note. Testing goes along with Lockdown. Lockdown is not a magic wand to drive Covid-19.



Without Mass Testing, the Coronavirus Pandemic Will Keep Spreading

Countries such as South Korea that test thousands of people per day have slowed the outbreak. Other nations must adopt Seoul’s model before it’s too late.

The key to South Korea’s success has been speed and an early push toward mass testing, rigorous contact tracing, and mandatory quarantine for anyone near a carrier of the virus.

The country, with a population of 51 million, tests more than 20,000 people a day at more than 600 testing sites nationwide, while integrating apps that not only track individuals if they have tested positive, but also warn them if they might have been exposed to a known case.

Lockdown means nothing without testing, isolating and treating infected ones.

You do not get it. They have done their statistical analysis and have come up with a containment plan. They are going to release sub centres and will monitor the growth of the spread. That was what the lockdown was for.

Does that excuse us conducting about 10,000 tests after ramping up testing and Ghana 68,591?

The lockdown in Ghana was partial not total. Those making money from Corona fraud in Abuja should move the lockdown out of Lagos and Ogun or they allow people to hustle for survival.

The truth is our jailers are making cool cash from extending this lockdown, the whole process is corrupt.

Exactly. All States need to do sample testing to determine the possibility of widespread infection of Covid-19 first. Those States without it or with very limited but contained cases can lift Lockdown but with strict guidelines.

We just locked up people with little to no testing, thinking the virus will disappear m

Huge population is not good for Any African country.

Nigeria with all its population and huge resources have tested less than smaller African countries.

It's a shame its a pity. Yet we are advocating for the nxt president
