All these returning travellers

We all know the Covid-19 cases in naija are more than ds figures. Carefully releasing it not to create panic. We are aware of 15 new cases from Gbagada .But let me stop here. God is in control already

May God help us

God help us all.

The numbers will definitely increase, it's not rocket science due to the nature of the window period of the virus and the issue of "Healthy carriers" more testing equipment will be required to really ascertain the level of spread that has occurred. We will overcome this trying times.

I won't be surprised if it's 10 times that number.

As much as we dislike Trump, if the Roche anti-Corona vaccine works, it will be fantastic. I think a race should be on to find simple effective treatments and also preventive measures.

I believe a prize of $20m should be given to anyone who finds a simple effective cure. With such a prize, a cure will be found within 6months.

Please people, stay at home and disinfect regularly.
Mop and clean surfaces with hypo.
Use facemasks and gloves if you must go out.
There's no such thing as being too careful.

If you fall ill now and need to be admitted, no one will come after you at the hospital. You can't even tell your family to look after your children while you go sort yourself out. Simply keep yourself and yours safe



I just sorry for people wey dey naija prison. Hope police stations have emptied their cells??

Na wa

Lord have mercy

Oh God please heal our land

Meanwhile in south Africa

*Lockdown Recommendations*
*1* - *DO NOT* travel for *ANY* reason other than Medical, Basic Needs or Food. You could face 1 month in jail and/or a fine if you leave home for any other personal reason. Keep your groceries receipts, doctors notes, pharmacy receipts, etc with you as proof of your reason for travel.

*2* - Always keep your ID and Drivers License with you when you do have to travel.

*3* - The Government has the right to test you for Coronavirus, detain you until the test are completed (which now takes up to 7 days due to the shear volume of tests) and place you under quarantine, so… Make sure someone always knows where you are going and when you will be back. If you are detained/quarantined, please keep someone apprised of the situation.

*4* - Do not take any detours, go straight to your destination and go back home.

*5* - If you do get stopped at a roadblock: Stay calm, be clear and be humble. Do not get aggressive or impatient.

*6* - If you have to travel for work, you will get a letter certifying this to be the case. Make sure you Manager/MD knows you are travelling for work, has authorised the trip and to expect a call from the Police/Army. Keep this letter handy on any work travel.

*7* - This lockdown is not about you. So, don’t be selfish, stick to the rules and keep the rest of us safe and healthy. The Government has warned of more stringent methods to control the outbreak, so please stick to the rules and lets get through this without further escaltion of the situation.

*8* - Keep doing your job. Keep your head down, be safe and keep healthy.

This is indeed a complex situation..
I've had a runny nose all day

Edit: To those quoting me, I never thought I had COVID-19. The nose just disturbed me a lot. I took some oranges so I feel better. Thanks

Chaii


Finally

My Rivers State�

God help us; the govt should lock down every state with a confirmed case so as to prevent further spread of the virus

Stupid Igbos

I just hate this country ... Why the hell did this fools not stop international flights sooner

If it's because of their kids and family surely they will be better off isolated there...

I'm just looking at our health system and feel like crying...

To stay house is not a problem but how does the average Nigerian eat ...

Lord help us...

Every time returning travelers, thought they shut the borders infact let them start showing us the people, because this country is a huge joke.
In lagos i strongly believe its over 2000 unknown to even the carriers

Returning travellers!! What are they looking for up and down. Mtchew

This is just a tip, of the iceberg......

It is finished

This shiit is spreading o.
Lord hear the cry of your children. Forgive us our sins and heal the land.

Lol
If this continued for 6 months it will be the end of humanity.

The only people that would remain would be those immune to the virus.

And anyone not killed by d virus will die of hunger or by the sword of looters.

But i believe God sha.
This is just not how the world ends

Oh God this is getting real in Nigeria. Lord heal the world.
