Hello everyone,I trust we are all doing fine.:Heard that an Ebola case has been confirmed in a hospital in Lagos, Nigeria, through a Liberian who came into Lagos. Anyway, whether true or false, we all need to be aware of the necessary preventive measures to take in reducing or stopping the spread of this deadly virus in our precious country. I want us to know that staying away from that hospital will not in any way, stop its spread among the people. Whoever brought the virus into Nigeria, obviously sat in the plane with other Nigerians, and also passed through airport officials. Liberians greet by hand shaking and hugs, so you cant tell how many people he/she must have greeted while coming into Lagos. Therefore, the following are the preventive measures we need to take, rather than avoiding the said hospital:- Please have a personal hand sanitizer and use it as frequent as possible (like every 30 minutes).- Do not buy and eat any fruit directly without washing it very well.- For now, you might want to stay away from eating any meat that you do not know its source, especially our lovely Suya.- Also, try not to put your hands into your mouth without using a sanitizer first ( for those of us that bite our fingers a lot, we need to consciously stop for now).- Try and avoid unnecessary hand shaking for now, or immediately after, use your sanitizer.- Unlike HIV, Ebola can be spread through contact with body sweat or saliva, so take caution when you sit in the danfo buses in Lagos or when you want to kiss.- Generally, avoid having contacts with body fluid- Bathe as often as you can- Prepare your meats by yourself, if possible- Lastly, get more information about Ebola, its free on google. Please stay safe and healthy!!
