I just called the NCDC toll free number... They said they won't get me test just like that... They said what I had is a minor that since I'm not feeling sick that I don't need to go to NCDC for a Corona virus test... They said I should just go to the normal hospital for a medical check up.

The reason why these Covid-19 cases will keep multiplying in Nigeria. Sad. Wisdom dictates that at this time, the first thing to rule out should be Covid-19. Sad, very sad. Now you will go to a private hospital and get nurses, other patients, doctors and transporters infected needlessly if it turns out to be a Covid-19 case.

ah! who boils vitamin c? it's to be swallowed like normal medicine trice a day. gargle warm water as often as you can.
on the other note, if you reside in area with high corona cases, while you take the vitamin c and warm water, continue disturbing ncdc for test
cos one of the 3 discharged covid19 patients in Akwaibom stated that loss of taste and smell were his foremost symptoms.

Hello nairalanders I need you all help... I suddenly lost my sense of smell and taste about 3days ago.... I am not having any chronic catarrh or any nasal problems... What could be the cause of this please? Now whatever I eat don't have taste in my mouth,even if a house is burning I can't smell it too... Please help me on how to get rid of this ailment... Who else has experience this? I need your advice please
This is a heavy symptom of coronavirus in some patients.
In Cuba it's a test procedure for coronavirus. You are made to identify 3popular scents and failure to do so will subject you to a compulsory Covid19 test and in most tests they came back positive.

Call the ncdc toll line asap

if I'm positive of this Corona... Then I believe many people are positive also without knowing... I am not feeling any symptoms of being sick... Or this virus has it own special camouflage tactics? I'm confused oh

4 might live under a roof and 2 showing symptoms while the remaining two won't show. (the other 2 might show moderate symtoms which is normal to the body).

In short, the virus is not as deadly as they made it seems (probably to we youth without underlying health issues)

You are assuming that when the "malaria" symptoms clear, then it would also mean that you are in the clear as far as Coronavirus is concerned? undecided undecided

I called ncdc back again... They said they would get in touch with me tomorrow...they Requested for my number and street address... Gave it to them... They said they would get in touch with me tomorrow... But to be sincere if this is what Corona virus feels like then those many deaths maybe an hoax... I'm feeling perfectly well except the sense of taste and smell that I lost

Like i mentioned earlier, there are people who have it and have absolutely no symptoms whatsoever.
The coronavirus uses those seemingly healthy people as its main delivery packs to spreading itself.

You may not be feverish but that is not to say that anyone you infect will be so lucky.

A husband and wife were infected and had to isolate at home. The man had absolutely no symptoms- he felt as fit as a fiddle. But his wife, she had to be rushed to the hospital twice during their period in isolation.

Not be the ncdc wey you call wey tell you say no levels.
You have to cater for yourself as you are in the blind what's wrong and how to solve this.
Nevertheless you have to fear for people around you and yourself, hopefully we all maybe wrong.

My advice is you get vitamin C (coloured one) and artifect (I hope my spelling is right, it's for catarrh).
Get this two and take.
Also get a nose drop. Try otravine

Sudden loss of smell and taste is a symptom of covid 19, go and get tested. Happened to my friend, and he eventually tested positive for the covid 19, and those were the only symptoms he had.

Add ginger to the boiling water too
It will help decongest your nasal cavity and chest area against puemonia
