It is now very imperative that every Nigerian, including the most progressive and patriotic people of Anambra State, the Light of the Nation and the Touch Bearers of Igbo Nation fully accept without doubt that Coronavirus is a crystal reality and a global pandemic. Hence, it is very pertinent that everyone should comply with the World Health Organization and the Anambra State Government COVID-19 Basic Protective Measures TO STAY SAFE AND TO STAY ALIVE.
Corona viruses are of the family of viruses known as CORONAVIRIDAE for containing strains that cause potentially deadly diseases in mammals and birds. In humans, they are typically spread via airborne droplets of fluid produced by infected individuals.
World Health Organization W.H.O confirmed that an animal source appeared most likely to be the primary source of the outbreak. Cobra, Viper and other snakes are said to be the source of the novel virus, according to Chinese scientists. Raw consumption of these snakes with venomous substances destroyed the structural body immunity of the consumers and created a new Coronavirus strain from the Coronaviridae Family.
Consequently, W.H.O declared COVID-19, which has infected millions of people globally, though with millions of recovery too, a pandemic, forcing global lockdown, recession and depression.
In Nigeria, COVID-19 has infected thousands of people. Studies show that early detection forestalls mortality. Indeed, Nigerians have cause to be grateful to God and thankful to their health care professionals and other essential workers as well as both the federal and the state governments for marshaling out strategic measures to keep many alive today.
For instance, in Anambra State, Governor Willie Obiano has made frantic efforts to protect the life of Ndi Anambra and residents. The governor and members of his executive have continuously hammered on the essence of carefulness and obedience to laid down rules to forestall a second lockdown. The essence is to protect the people in order to avoid contaminations from the deadly virus.
Ndi Anambra, nay Nigerians are therefore requested to join force with government to get rid of the pandemic. Let us continue the frequent hand washing with soap and running water or the use of alcohol-based sanitizers. When coughing or sneezing, cover your mouth and nose with fixed elbow or tissue and throw away the tissue immediately after and wash your hands.
Avoid close contact with anyone who has fever and cough; if you have fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical care early and share previous travel history with your health care provider. When visiting live markets in areas currently experiencing cases of novel coronavirus, avoid direct unprotected contact with live animals and surfaces in contact with animals.
The consumption of raw or undercooked animal products should be avoided. Raw meat, milk or animal organs should be handled with care, to avoid cross-contamination with uncooked foods, as per good food safety practices. Let us continue to maintain at least one metre or three feet distance between you and anyone who is coughing or sneezing. Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth. Hands touch many surfaces and can pick up viruses. Once contaminated, hands can transfer the virus to your eyes, nose or mouth. From there, the virus can enter your body and can make you sick.
Make sure you and the people around you follow good respiratory hygiene. This means covering your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze. If you have fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical care early. Many states have announced another lockdown. Ndi Anambra should be wise and act right now to avoid another lockdown in the state.
Stay informed on the latest developments about COVID-19. Follow advice given by the government and healthcare providers. If you must appear in public, wear face mast accordingly. Don’t shake hands of hug. Avoid crowded places.
