Just like one of my favourite quotes which say: “For every bad thing in life, there are more good things to tip the balance.” -Richelle Mead.

The coronavirus (COVID19 Pandemic) which was initially reported to the WHO on December 31, 2019. On January 30, 2020, WHO declared the COVID19 outbreak a global health emergency. On March 11, 2020, WHO declared COVID19 a global Pandemic and by April 2020, we started closing our businesses and doors in Nigeria.

This COVID19 pandemic has cost so much to so many people, things which include:

The loss of lives

The loss of jobs

The loss of freedom

Psychological breakdown

Poverty etc.

Even as we are awaiting the cure and gradually easing the lockdown, the majority of individuals will continue to see this COVID19 pandemic as more of a disadvantage to them.

I know right now you will be asking yourself, why is my title saying benefits when I am listing the Downsides but stay with me a bit longer and you will find out.

Just like my opening quote, in life, everything bad we go through always has a positive outcome, if we look a bit deeper. And like every other thing in life, COVID19 pandemic also came with its advantages which are as follow:

IMPROVEMENT ON HYGIENE: Before now, the personal hygiene of a normal Nigerian is little or nothing. Like the popular saying “Dirty no dey kill African man”, we believed that nothing is spoilt or damaged, so we tend to live a carefree lifestyle. But since the introduction of the pandemic, Nigerians are now washing their hands regularly, cleaning their environments and avoiding things that put their life at risk (like going out without facemask).

IMPROVEMENT OF HEALTH SECTOR: It’s no news that the health sector in Nigeria has always been in jeopardy, a sector where adequate finance is not disbursed for maintenance or improvements but with the introduction of the pandemic and closure of borders all over the world, our healthcare system is now being looked into and necessary measures which include the 112 isolation and treatment centres are now in place.
