The Federal Government has banned the inter-state movement of coronavirus patients in the country.

Minister of Health, Dr Osagie Ehanire, said this on Wednesday in Abuja, at the Presidential Taskforce, briefing on COVID-19.

Ehanire said that “all persons diagnosed with the virus will henceforth be treated in the state where their diagnosis was made to avoid further spread of infection”.

He stated that Patent and Proprietary Medicine Vendors and Pharmacists should refrain from attempting to treat COVID-19 patients, otherwise their operating licences would be revoked.

He noted that the Federal Ministry of Health has deployed the Chief Consultant Epidemiologist, Public Health Department of Kano State, and 16 staff of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control to Kano State to carry out investigations on the recent number of deaths in the state as well identify the peculiarities.

The minister stated that private hospitals desiring to manage COVID-19 patients should apply to their state Ministries of Health for a permit, meet the Infection Prevention and Control standards and get accredited by the state accreditation team in line with FMOH guidelines.

Ehanire stressed that those with existing medical conditions like diabetes, hypertension, kidney disease, TB, HIV, cancer; should take special care and also obey the instructions on taking special care.

“Government is interested in remedies that are being proposed. The Ministry of Health has a department for ‘Traditional, Complementary and Alternative Medicine’, so anything that is thought to have efficacy should be brought forward.

“Now we are in the community transmission phase and we have passed that era when people think that COVID-19 was something for big men and women who came from abroad.

“Now that it is in the grassroots, the role of the Primary Healthcare now comes to play and it is very important for them to do the surveillance to raise the index of suspicion,” he said.

Late though but still.....good move

Ok

Long overdue

No need for long story , in summary the poor infected with covid19 will remain on their states .


Laws for common man only ....rubbish

All these steps should have been taken before now

But they can move top party members, those they consider as higher class abi.

Keep deceiving the poor masses

Ban kee all of Una there......

Hmm

All this is audio surely those infected will find ways of getting across

This is Nigeria after all

Finally the virus has gotten out of control. Worst still, the economy will soon get out of control.

We never saw these coming

After moving Kyari from Lagos to Abuja. Awon eleribu somebody deceiving themselves

We will overcome in Jesus' name. There's always a silver lining after a dark cloud.

Nice

those tested for the virus in a state that there is no testing lab,they move their sample to the state where there is testing kit to do the test properly.

Nothing is done here. Ban interstate movement in its entirety.

Shit is getting real day after day.

The poor won't have anything to eat, they will turn against themselves.

The aftermath of Corona will leave behind a world of grim, strive and wild tendencies of bare knuckle survival.

Crash in oil prices + loss of jobs + inflation + Nigeria = Depression

You no say this matter needs our serious contributions

my brother can you people read to understand.

Excerpt:
"State governors called for the decentralization of the COVID-19 response as the best chance of nipping the spread of the virus in communities with over 25 States now affected by the spread of the virus and increasing evidence of community transmission."

after Abba Kyari don do him own go....

Only for people like Abba kyari

I must say that the govt was not proactive at all.
If not for God's mercy, this Corona would have gone pass like this because of the mistakes they made.
