Isnt it funny that d testing centers for lagos, abuja and Edo states were specifically mentioned but Osun was jus indicated to have one.. And yet we had a minister making noises and claiming we were ready... Imagine no testing centres in d whole North, South East and South western regions becos Osun obviously have none..

He's still learning to pronounce d name so make una leave am..

Stop copying oyinbo stories and look for d ones dat concerns us...

In the light of d precarious Coronavirus outbreak d world is facing right now, 2 major terms have always been thrown up with regards to managing and avoiding the infection as best as possible.. Two of the most important interventions, which you may already have heard of, are social distancing and self-isolation.
Every country has a slightly different policy when it comes to these, however, the general principles are similar.
Here's a breif explanation as to what they both mean...

What is social distancing?
Well, social distancing is the thing we should be doing, and by we, I mean everyone.

Exact advice varies, but it does include things like: Working from home if possible; travelling only when necessary, especially on public transport or for overseas trips; avoiding social venues like cinemas and clubs; avoiding gatherings of large groups of people; restricting visitors; and, if you do go out in public, maintaining a safe distance from others - usually around two metres.

Since coronavirus is spread mainly through respiratory droplets (especially when people cough or sneeze), maintaining a bit of distance will help to decrease the spread of the virus.

Social distancing aims to reduce the amount of interaction people have while allowing them to carry out their necessary day-to-day activities. It also helps reduce the chances of picking the virus up and then spreading it to others.

These measures are especially important for people at higher risk of severe disease if they get coronavirus. This might include the elderly, especially those over 70, people with significant long-term medical problems like lung disease, heart disease, weak immune system, diabetes, neurological problems, kidney disease; and pregnant women.

How is self-isolation different?
Self-isolation is what people with possible coronavirus have to do - if they have symptoms, or if they have been in close contact with someone who might.

It is usually reserved for those likely to be infected, to stop the disease spreading.

Self-isolation involves much more stringent and widened application of distancing practices such as: Not going to work or school; not travelling; not having visitors; not leaving the house and instead asking others to help if you need supplies; not sharing a bed; and not sharing household items like towels and utensils.

While social distancing is usually an ongoing practice over a long period of time, self-isolation is usually for a set period of time.

For example, in the UK, we recommend that people with symptoms self-isolate for a minimum of seven days. Their family members and others they have been in close contact with should self-isolate for a minimum of 14 days to allow for the incubation period and to see if they go on to develop the disease themselves.

As we learn more about the virus, this advice is likely to change. However, for now, it represents one of the most powerful tools we have in dealing with this global pandemic.

So let's make sure we all do our part.

If you are mentally balance, then you will know that the first family has done the right thing.

Now dat U mentioned it, ur sense should have told u to mind ur business if U had any but obviously u're lacking it

Greennotes:
This is what China has been using to treat Covid -19 patients hence their relative success. Wuhan recorded zero case of new infection today. Actually, Chinese researchers exploited the relationship between Covid-19 and SARS and chose to use chloroquine since the virus acts like SARS.

Now, America as usual, wants to claim ownership of this success.

America have not claimed success or ownership.. What is wrong in dem coming out to advice on drugs for treatment? It's even a gud thing for us here in Africa and Nigeria who have been treating malaria and typhoid since time immemorial.. D problem now is, our hospitals and pharmacies will hoard chloroquine and hike d price

So afta claiming to have banned ppl coming in from risk countries, u allowed ur daughter com back.. Make dis corona virus locate dem abeg
