Whether Self Isolation or quarantine o, na the same thing with different English. All I know is that you just take a compulsory 14 days off public


naptu2:


Basically:

1) He is not sick (he doesn't have any symptoms of the disease).

2) He has tested negative for the virus

3) He is not being held at any hospital or facility

4) He has decided to stay at home voluntarily (nobody is forcing him to stay at home) for 14 days.

How can he be on self isolation? Nah wah o.
Yes lots of people who went to the prone countries or one way or the other were in close contact with the affected go on self isolation.
It's the best preventive measure until incubation period passes, u will be safe to say u are not a carrier.

14 days incubation period is critical, even HIV doesn't show immediately

If Govt refuses to regulate social media esp in Nigeria, we go just wake up one day and see the country on fire

Is it d same social media that d NCDC is using to report that its DG isn't quarantined that u want regulated? Was it social media that first reported that d DG was quarantined?

Quarantine
A certain period of time during which a person is isolated to determine whether they've been infected with a contagious disease.

One of several same meaning of quarantine
- Oxford English dictionary

No difference between isolation and quarantine in this case

I am sure you don't know what it means to regulate social media especially in a country where touts carry gun and call themselves police or DSS.

If you know what the level of abuse of power in this country you will have a rethink.

He was quarantined or not quarantined how does it help the masses or did it remove anything from his personality. Give the demon in aso rock more power to oppress you. Ghana, South Africa, Togo and others don't call for regulation of social media it's only in nigeria.

Is fake news the reason we don't have good roads or security.
What exactly are you saying?

That the roads are bad should give me the audacity to post a story that you slept with your mother on the internet?

We don't even know what to believe anymore, before we believe any news now I think we would have to wait for couple of days. I believe their would be another to counter this. I'm watching.

In fact,I weak.It is an embarassement that at a time like this,the health minister and the Centre are not on the same page.Too bad.

You have a point but the truth of the matter is, the Centre need not counter the minister if they didn't feel he was implying something else.

i thought they said face mask is not necessary?
asin eh im confused. dey say u should only use it wen u have d infection so as not to spread it to others. That covid is as a spread by contacting droplets from an index person.
So why are dey all putting masks, are dey infected?
