COVID-19 Updates: Case To Increase Up To 6,000 In Nigeria-health Minister by Ababbio: 8:19am On Apr 03, 2020
In the midst of pandemic in Nigeria, the Minister of Health Osagie Ehanire has hinted that 4 novel cases have been discovered today, 2nd of April, 2020 while the statistics of those discharged remains stagnant.

On the number of the prospective Covid-19 patient to be discharge, the minster says that 10 prospective-to-be-confirmed case has been undergoing thorough treatment as they would, tentatively, be discharged soon.


Speaking on the accreditation of isolation centers in the country, Ehanire says that thorough investigation is going on in suggested centers to be sure that they are capable of treating the pandemic, Corona virus. In the same vein, professionals, who are of international standard and have undergone appropriate training, have been designated to different centers.

The minister has assured every Nigerian that the pandemic would be combated appropriately as there are lots of empowerment to take care of unforeseen cases.


In making his statement of regret, the minister lament on the probability of having increased number of infected people because of numerous contact.

By his professional statistics and judgment, there is a possibility that the number of cases in Nigeria might rise to 6,000. Though myopic and tentative, the minister says this based on the novel cases that have been confirmed today. With these cases, there are better chances that the people would have moved by and large in the country that is tantamount to them having contacts with good number of people.


On looking for a way to curb this spread, the minister in his statement of update has assured Nigerians that there are agencies around the country that would be on the lookout for the people that might have had contact with people infected with corona virus patients.

This is not to scare anyone but rather to be able to contain this deadly mayhem ravaging humanity. With Nigeria not an exception of the increase in the number of cases, the minister has urged people to submit themselves to treatment and never to hide any form of suspected cases.

With increase in the number of people to be discharged, the minister is of the opinion that adequate treatment would be administered. As such, being early to treatment guarantees assurance of being healed of the pandemic virus.


On the “stay at home” warning, he says that the people that are on business trip, vacation, or moving to their houses are permitted to travel.

He says that it isn’t a total lockdown for people in this category. However, people should make sure they stay at home and observe the rules given to them. He says that when people are moving around, they would have contact which would increase the proclivity of contracting the virus.


Optimistically, the minster says that the pandemic would come to an end very soon only that the containment would need to take a while. Besides, people infected would be given appropriate treatment. Thus, more people would be discovered but they would be treated accordingly. Stay home. Stay safe.

if people are allowed to go on ''business trip, vacation and move to their houses'', who then are you telling to sit at home? The poor man with no business, no money for vacation and no house to move into?
this is turning into a battle for the sustainance of capitalists
