The deadly coronavirus is now in 15 countries:
China
United States
France
Japan
South Korea
Taiwan
Singapore
Thailand
Australia
Nepal
Vietnam
Hong Kong
Macau
Malaysia
Canada
Over 1000people infected.
43 are dead.
Here is what you can do to stay safe:
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol hand sanitizer.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Stay home if you are sick.
When you cough or sneeze,
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces like doorknobs, tables, chairs etc
These are every day habits that can help prevent the spread of several viruses.
If someone coughs or sneezes around you, cover your nose and mouth with tissue paper/ then discard into the trash bin.
It is believed that the virus is spread through coughing, sneezing and touching of infected surfaces, so please do your best to avoid this as much as possible.
Pls DO NOT make any unimportant travel to China especially Hubei Province including Wuhan.
This is NOT the time for any meaningless tourism or nonessential business trip.
If it can wait, let it wait.
Don’t kill yourself o.
China is locking down its own cities,
Do NOT go there.
And if you know anyone who just returned from China,
Avoid any animals they bring from there (alive or dead), avoid anything they bought from any seafood market or animal markets in China, and stay away from any animal products (such as fish, seafood or any uncooked meat).
Hopefully the nigerian transport ministry starts aggressive screening at the airports and seaports to avoid any cases in this country.
This Chinese virus is new to mankind.
It has infected almost 1,500 people in 15 countries and killed about 45 people.
Please be safe out there.
