The dead Dr carried out an emergency Csection on a pregnant woman, who unfortunately had covid. He was also an asthmatic
He wasnt treating the patient as a covid patient, but was trying to save mother and child, and the relatives also lied about that patient.
My advice is that Drs should treat anyone coming into their hospital as a probable corona virus carrier even if they come in with something else entirely.
Wear your masks, PPE to see every single patient.

Agree on the highlighted...

Problem was when the doctor started showing symptoms of Covid, he and his staff didn’t contact the NCDC but rather tried to take care of it in-house, and it wasn’t until he was already in extreme distress before they took him to LUTH isolation ward/ICU. May his soul Rest In Peace.

4. Taxi driver or what ever means that ferried him to hospital (1).

Simple instruction "if you notice any symptom of convid-19 report to get tested and help save lives" but many people become ignorant of the truth and cause others their precious life.


Secondly it is like this lockdown in Lagos is audio � I don't get how there will be lockdown and people will still be going on visitation and moving around.

We are just joking with this corona virus.

But some idiots on this forum keeps shouting that covid 19 is malaria na.
My people perish for lack of knowledge, stay at home they refuse, most of them don't know that world war three is already on.
I'm war situation, you do virtually everything possible to stay alive, I pray Nigeria doesn't end up like other covid 19 war zones.

Was in this hospital on April 12

After testing negative to Coronavirus five days earlier. In fact, my car is still in their compound as the alternator failed while I was about leaving and I have not found a rewire since due to lockdown.

Self isolation in a lock down, sorry about this.

ONLY God can help us. Those visitors has mixed with people, those people mixed with has also mixed with people and so on. ONLY God.
Meanwhile, let's let's use all measures of protection against this viral disease be it natural Herbal and Prophetic medicine for Muslim and likes (ask any Islamic medicine store of teebu n nabawi against this kinda viral disease). We'll win this war Against covid-19 God willing


Please stop spreading this news....

Having a hot steam will worsen the disease
It basically closes up the alveoli which are already significantly restricted due to the fibrosis caused by the virus in the severe cases..

Dry not moist heat work on the virus on surfaces:- likely explanation for low prevalence in sub-tropics but not on your tissues please.

A lot of self-help messages are out there by both victims and non-victims....
A lot of people have had flu but thought to be Covid-19 due to lack of testing and are chasing clout by prescribing all manners of treatment...

Outside of the proven clinical trials which have clear objective evidence and boosting your personal immunity with a good diet, please let's avoid spreading sensational or anecdotal information which may have life-altering consequences.


Good diet.. Vit C, Vit D
Keep healthy
Social distance
Keep good no.. Excellent hygiene
Keep positive mentally



Get tested once symptoms develop
Use appropriate medication.. Cq, antivirals etc
Oxygen supplementation if needed
Plasma exchange if available


God bless.

Just like Ebola times, try and reduce ur hospital visit.

Visit pharmacy with caution,

if u can call ur doctor and explain ur symptoms via phone, so that u can reduce ur chances of getting covid-19 infection.

You are very smart my guy. I always think about this public tap issue. The only solution is to provide hand gloves. But how can one wash hands with gloves

I think the solution is to dedicate a security? staff to be the ONLY person to operate the tap.



Or attach a foot pedal mechanism to the tap in order to open and close it.

all hospital should be given head up of patients showing symptoms of covid 19. his family should be isolated

Heads up by who and how is that possible?
Re: Visitors To St Edward Hospital, Ajah, Lagos Advised To Self Isolate by OgogoroFreak(m): 9:44am On Apr 18, 2020
This is not about travel history no more. The test should be carried out on everybody. At this rate, I can confidently say there are over 3,000 covid-19 cases in Nigeria.

Lostz:
all hospitals should have the means to test for covid19 before admitting patients

This is why I am so sorry.for this country. No information is given about the status of the doctors and.nurses who.may have come in contact with the infected patient.

If the government is sincerely concerned about the safety of Nigerians, all medical facilities should have been given test kits as a first precautionary step for easy test and immediate isolation of anyone that test positive.
The federal ministry of health and NCDC should work hand in hand with private sectors I'm concert this will hasten detection and isolation thereby reduce rate of spread. It's a shame

Hospitals are not safe to go now, for routine issues. Only go when absolutely necessary. Buy some routine drugs you normally need like paracetamol, your bp drugs, your antimalarial and antibiotics. Only go to the hospital when absolutely necessary.

The hospital is good as closed for now, the admitted patients will discharge themselves and no new patient will go near that hospital with this knowledge of covid-19 case.

Oga going by your submission, that means a lot of hospitals will be close and can't attend to patience with other medical conditions anymore, the most important thing is that the hospital has been decontaminated going by the report, this means no patience will contact the decease from the day the NCDC Decontaminates the hospital.

If you have options, will you choose the hospital for even your relation that's ill?

Use a Tissue to hold and turn the tap.
Discard the tissue when done.
I do in it my own house sef, including door handles, these are dangerous times, calling for dangerous moves.
