CORONA VIRUS
The scourge of COVID-19 disease which is caused by the above named virus (SARS-Cov-2) started initially in China late December, 2019 but has now spread up to the point of being termed ‘a Global Pandemic’ (disease that has spread across wide geographical region) with over 8,100 deaths. Hence, the needs to further raise the level of consciousness and awareness of staff, families and loved ones.
Locally, Nigeria has now confirmed four new cases of Covid-19 making a total of twelve (12) confirmed cases (as at 20th March, 2020) and one death in Ekiti State which further makes the situation a dire one.
Exponential rate of the disease spread (doubling of cases every three days) has made it necessary for everyone to practice ‘social distancing’ by avoiding public spaces and limiting movements.
Based on the above new cases, the Federal Government of Nigeria has restricted travel from these locations and some more, we at Medexia have also taken it upon us to help prevent the spread of Covid-19 by reemphasizing some method of prevention of the disease as well as tips/suggestions to stay well and unaffected.
Tips:
