Lagos has a very small land mass and it is one, if not the most congested cities in Nigeria and Africa at large....

Strict attention should be placed on Lagos to avoid worse spread and death cases like NYC....


My fear is the North, they might linger the spread of the virus in Nigeria.

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.

Ironic:
God bless South East.

Why would a patient not disclose a vital information of recent travel to the doctor at this critical period? It would have helped.

Visit to hospitals for either medical checkup or seeing a patient at this period is not encouraged due to covid-19 easy transmission. About 2 weeks ago, I discovered my 20months old son was suddenly running temperature (over 38.5 degree celcius) around 4am and so decided to give him paracetamol syrup and use damped cloth soaked with water on his forehead and body for few minutes. Around 5am, we took the baby to hospital and as we were almost approaching the hospital building, less than 20meters away, my wife asked me to park and rethink about approaching hospital amidst coronavirus lockdown. Wow! I gave it a thought for like a minute while they are sitted at the back sit, asked how was my boy's temperature? She used the thermometer on him and realized its reduction to 37.2! With courage, we agreed let us turn back home and follow up on him. On returning home, she fed him, put on bed to sleep as we monitor him closely. By 10am, he woke up and his temperature was back to normal (36.5).

If we had not turned back home, we could be exposing ourselves to covid-19 danger due to influx of patients with undisclosed ailment at the hospitals. I thank God we summoned courage to turn back and live to tell this story amidst pandemic lockdown.

With your fears it ought to have been way worse by now. Our index case was close to 2 months ago

Mr. Cardiologist, nobody expected you to turn away a potential Covid-19 patient...
What you should have done immediately he showed Covid symptoms is to contact the NCDC.

Sadly, one is beginning to wonder about our medical doctors...
There have now been SEVERAL cases (including of the dead doctor) where doctors treat symptomatic patients without reporting.
