This shouldn’t concern only those in Lagos. The patient might have made contacts with people at the airport who travelled to other cities.

Take these tips seriously. Chineke zọpụta anyị n’aka ọrịa nke a bikonu😩.

The easiest way to control this thing now is a 2 week state of emergency and self quarantine from Monday possibly. But of course govt will wait until it is out of control.
