Nigeria Records Second Death From Coronavirus by oshozondii(op): 4:17pm On Mar 30, 2020

The Nigerian Government has confirmed the second death from coronavirus (COVID-19) in the country.

The Minister of Health, Dr Osagie Ehanire, announced this on Monday during the Presidential Task Force Briefing on COVID-19 in Abuja, the nation’s capital.

He stressed that Nigeria has 111 confirmed cases of COVID-19, saying a majority of them were persons who came in from overseas.

According to the health minister, the highest number of confirmed cases are in Lagos and Abuja because they serve as the major gateways to the country.

He also informed the gathering that all retired but able-bodied staff of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and the Federal Ministry of Health were being recalled.

Ehanire warned Nigerians to protect the elderly among them, as well as those having underlying health issues as they were the most vulnerable.

In his opening remarks, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha, informed the audience that the briefing would be a daily event.

He explained that the purpose was to give an update and minimise the incidence of fake news in the country.

Mustapha stressed that the briefing would be the only approved briefing of the task force, although appearances on TV by relevant members would be allowed.

He announced that President Muhammadu Buhari has constituted a committee headed by the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, to care for the economic challenges that the situation may bring for the time being.

The SGF also clarified the controversy triggered by the restriction of movement in Lagos and Ogun States, as well as the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

He allayed the fear of Nigerians, saying workers in the financial institutions were not included in the stay-at-home order declared by the President in his Sunday broadcast to the nation.

Damnnnnn niggarrr
Don't be scared niggarrrs

Shebi them never discover Corona viruse medicine?
So Wetin be the name of the drugs way them dey give those people for hospital recovering from the viruse?

Which means Na just mumu mumu random drugs them dey give them for hospital. Na them dey recover by themselves not the random drugs
So as a real niggarrr
I will say this
even if you have the symptoms of Corona
Just relax at home your body will recover
Our body dey always develop biological denfense and immunity to destroy that viruse except maybe you are old and probably get other problem before like diabetes and heart problem that can slow down the rate at which your body fights disease
If you don't have problems before then sit at home and recover

No information about the person that died, the way our government handles issues most times is just.....

deltateam:
Do you want the entire country to segregate his family?

We are not asking for the name, at least give information on the person's medical history( if there is any), age and any other information that isn't revealing his identity, all these will help reduce fear and panic and also help others who might have the same medical history with such a person to know precautionary steps to take not to fall victim too, information is what rules the world today if you don't know, why corona virus has killed so many people in the world is because the world did not know much about it, every information right now is vital....

God airpus. I hope the common man will see enough reason why he should stay his ass at home. This pandemic must not be allowed to escalate here as we do not have the capacity to deal with it if overwhelmed by it.
