The National Centre for Disease Control is pulling out all the stops and leaving no
stones unturned in her campaign to galvanize Nigerians in the battle to stop the
spread, and ultimately win the war against the Covid-19 pandemic.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) outbreak, which was first identified in
Wuhan, China, in December 2019, has since become a global pandemic, spreading to
almost every country in the world, including Nigeria.

With the campaign funded by the NNPC-IPPG team, an association of Indigenous Oil
and Gas Producing Companies, and buoyed by its mandate to tackle the challenge of
public health epidemics through prevention, detection and control, NCDC has taken
the #TakeResponsibility awareness campaign against the Covid-19 virus a notch
higher with the newly launched multi-language mass media campaign.
The new #TakeResponsibility campaign, disseminated pan-Nigeria in Hausa, Igbo,
Yoruba, Pidgin and English languages across Print, Radio and Social Media
platforms, is premised on the key NCDC guidelines and safety precautions to stop the
spread of the novel coronavirus.

The safety precautions include washing of hands frequently with soap under running
water for 20 seconds; or using alcohol-based sanitizer where water is not readily
available; coughing or sneezing into tissue and disposing same properly or coughing
or sneezing into the elbow.

Other guidelines involve the practice of social distancing, such as avoiding large
crowds and keeping physical contact to no less than 2 meters; cleaning all surfaces
frequently with disinfectants and avoiding fake news about the virus by getting
information only from official sources (like NCDC).

Also, critical is the advice that if a traveler returns from a trip abroad, such an
individual should self-isolate for 14 days and if he/she develops symptoms, the
individual should call NCDC’s toll free number: 080097000010, for immediate
assistance.

Coronavirus, which affects all age groups, but mostly the elderly and those with
underlying medical conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma, etc., is
primarily spread between and among people during close contact, often via small
droplets produced by coughing, sneezing or talking.
According to NCDC-NNPC-IPPG partnership, the summary of all the Covid-19
guidelines and safety precautions is for Nigerians of every tribe and tongue, and non-

Nigerians in the country to #TakeResponsibility by playing their part in the all-
important race to halt and end the pandemic for the good of all.

All my fellow Nairalanders please take responsibility and Stay safe. That's the message, let's heed the warning. This pandemic has come and will go. Good morning everyone.

Let the FG take full responsibility rather than fighting covid19 on text message and t.v
Let's see them conduct more test and provide more palliative support to the hungry masses

COVID19 is fake

The toll free number that may not go even if you call. God help us.
