The World Health Organisation (WHO) has warned Nigeria to curb the spread of the novel Coronavirus disease in the country before it too late.
“Speaking today from the WHO headquarters in Geneva, its Director-General, Dr Tedros Ghebreyesus, said Nigeria should seize the opportunity now that it has few cases to stop the virus from spreading by conducting enough testing, identifying those who test positive, isolating them and following up with contacts’ tracing.
“He said those early measures would prevent the disease from growing from sporadic cases to a community transmission that may become harder to contain.
“The problem starts when community transmission starts, when the number of cases builds, ” He said.
“The Growing numbers of cases means the healthcare system will be overwhelmed, ” He added
