    UPDATE: Buhari Orders 14-day Lockdown In Lagos, Ogun and FCT Over Coronavirus Outbreak 2


    President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday during a nationwide broadcast ordered the restriction of movement in Lagos, Ogun and Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, following the outbreak and continued spread of Coronavirus in the country. 

    The restriction is expected to last for two weeks in the first instance to enable the Federal Ministry of Health, Nigerian Centre for Disease Control and other stakeholders rally all available resources to control the spread of the disease. 

    Buhari urged citizens in these areas to stay in their homes in order to reduce the risk of contracting the virus. 

    He equally advised that inter-state travels should be postponed. 

    According to the President, the containment period will be used to identify, trace and isolate all individuals that had come in contact with confirmed cases, including ensuring the treatment of confirmed cases while restricting further spread to other states.

    He said, “Based on the advice of the Federal Ministry of Health and NCDC, I am directing the cessation of all movements in Lagos and FCT for an initial period of 14 days with effect from 11pm on Monday, March 30, 2020. 
    “This restriction will also apply to Ogun State due to its close proximity to Lagos and the high traffic between the two states.”

    Nigeria currently has 97 confirmed cases of Coronavirus and one recorded death.

    President Muhammadu Buhari has banned the movement of persons in and out of Lagos, Ogun and Federal Capital Territory as a result of the Coronavirus outbreak.

    He made the declaration on Sunday evening during a nationwide broadcast.

    According to the President, the decision was taken because Lagos and the FCT had recorded the most cases of the pandemic in the country due to the international airports in both cities, which had allowed travellers from high risk countries for the virus to come into the country.

    Buhari said Ogun State was included in the restriction because of its close proximity to Lagos and the fact that it bordered many other states in the South-West.

    The President asked Nigerians to put aside their personal comfort to help combat the pandemic, adding that citizens should stay at home to reduce the risk of the virus spreading further.

    Buhari said that security agencies would be drafted in to help government’s effort at tackling Coronavirus.

    Nigeria currently has 97 confirmed cases of the virus and one recorded death.

    Women at Risk International Foundation, a non-profit organisation focused on reducing the prevalence of gender-based violence in Nigeria, has urged Nigerians to report any case of domestic or gender-based violence that may occur during the period of stay-at-home order by the government.

    WARIF expressed fear that as the number of Coronavirus cases continue to increase across Nigeria and with stringent measures being put in place for individuals to quarantine and self-isolate, people might be at risk of being harmed by their abusers during the period.

    Founder of WARIF, Dr Kemi Da-Silva Ibru, urged all affected adults and caregivers of young children to make use of its 24-hour confidential help line to report any case of sexual abuse.

    Ibru said, “As borders close down in many countries, and governments institute mandatory lock downs and families are sequestered; children and women at risk will be locked in and quarantined with their abusers in very volatile home environments, we envisage an increase in the cases of domestic and sexual violence as abusers now see this as an opportunity to cause harm to these groups.

    “We urge all individuals at risk to please make use of our 24 hours helpline 0809 210 0009 or send messages to our social media platforms on @Warif_ng.”

  • Coronavirus: Kwara Group Calls For Palliatives For Poor Residents

    Elites Network for Sustainable Development, a Kwara-based civil society organisation, has urged Kwara State governor, Abdulrahman Abdulrasaq, to provide palliatives for poor people in the state.

    The government has ordered residents to stay at home as part of efforts in curbing the spread of the pandemic in the country.

    ENetSuD, in a letter jointly signed by its Coordinator, Dr Alagbonsi Abdullateef; and Secretary, Mahmud Usman Baba; noted that notwithstanding the laudable lockdown order, majority of Kwarans in the informal sector would be severely affected.

    ENetSuD said the government should consider and approve the spending of one-month Internally Generated Revenue of the state for the provision of food items to people in the informal sector across Kwara.

    It said, “Most of the people in this sector possibly cannot feed themselves and their family members without accessing their shops and rendering their daily services.

    “The latest statement from the State Technical Committee on COVID-19 dated 27th March 2020 that the KWSG is considering palliatives for the poorest of the poor at this critical COVID-19 pandemic period.

    “Thus, ENetSuD further suggested the following possible ways the government may wish to consider for the implementation of the proposed palliative measures: the measures should be mainly foodstuffs and agricultural items that will serve the purpose of feeding, but not hand-sanitisers or face masks.

    “This is based on the fact that the lockdown order has already significantly prevented physical contacts of people as they are now unavoidably staying at home, and all households can efficiently practice hand washing with soap.

    “The measures should only be for Kwara residents in the informal sector who are the most affected by this pandemic-induced lockdown.”

    ENetSuD added that the measures should exclude the civil servants in the formal sector since the government had graciously continued to pay their salaries even during the period, which would remove hardship.

    It also suggested that the government works with artisans, market and community associations to altruistically identify their members with a genuine need for the palliative, adding that the process should be transparent to the public.

    It added, “We urge the government to strictly supervise the exercise collaboratively so that the impact could be truly felt by the people really in need of the measures.

    “Distribution of items of this nature is best done by independent bodies, especially reputable nongovernmental organisations.”

    (Video) Covid-19: Family of seven stays cheerful despite virus infection 11

    KUALA LUMPUR: Although this family of seven has been tested positive for Covid-19, the five siblings who are currently quarantined at the Teluk Intan Hospital sure know how to stay cheerful instead of being despondent.

    Since yesterday, the TikTok video of Erika Syamim Samsu Ambia, 17, and her siblings has been trending on Twitter.

    “Even though we’re Covid-19 positive, we as a family will go through this together. Plus, our health condition is okay. Here’s a TikTok (video) we made to entertain ourselves in hospital,” she wrote.

    The eldest among the five siblings admitted they had to be strong-willed and pray constantly during these trying times.

    In a conversation with Bernama via Twitter, she said her father Dr Samsu Ambia Ismail, a Specialist and Head of the Emergency and Trauma Department at the Teluk Intan Hospital, was the first in the family to have tested positive for Covid-19 and has been quarantined at the hospital for the past six days.

    Erika Syamim, four siblings, aged between eight and 15, and their mother were quarantined a day later.

    “We are fighting the virus with our own antibodies and hope we’ll be fine after the 14-day quarantine,” she said.

    At the time of writing, Erika Syamim’s Twitter feed has received over 208,000 views, 14,800 retweets and 19,000 likes.

    Asked by a netizen about the symptoms of the disease, she said her father had fever, cough and breathing difficulties while the rest of them just had a fever.

    Netizens flooded her Twitter post with words of encouragement, prayers and hoped they would stay strong and recover soon.

    Erika Syamim also had some advice for other patients, especially Muslims, to continue to pray and recite the al-Quran.

    “If you are in the ward, don’t be ‘lemau’ (sluggish). Be cheerful, insya-Allah (God willing) we can fight the disease too,” she said. — Bernama

    Istana Selangor: All visitors to three palaces must undergo temperature checks 12

    SHAH ALAM: The Office of the Sultan of Selangor has made it compulsory for all visitors conducting businesses at three palaces in the state to undergo temperature checks before being allowed to enter the areas concerned to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

    Comptroller of the Selangor Royal Household Sawaluddin Md Nor said three units of temperature detectors had been stationed at the main entrance gates of Istana Alam Shah in Klang, Istana Bukit Kayangan and Istana Mestika here for the purpose.

    ‘’All visitors and contractors must first be examined at the main entrances to determine their health. This is important to determine if they have the symptoms for Covid-19,’’ he said via a statement uploaded on the Selangor Royal Office official website, today.

    He said all the palace staff had also undergone a mandatory examination on March 9 and the results had been negative.

    According to Sawaluddin, the Selangor Royal Office was also supplying face and nose masks and sanitation fluid to the personnel required to work in rotation in certain areas until the Movement Control Order (MCO) ended.

    ‘’The residential area of the palace staff in Kampung Seri Alam, Klang is also closely guarded by the police.

    ‘’We also laud the order of the Sultan (of Selangor) who wants all his staff especially those staying in the Kampung Seri Alam area to stay home and not wander outside the area to avoid the risk of being infected by Covid-19,’’ he said. — Bernama

    Covid-19: 1,000 homeless people in KL to be placed at three PLKN camps 13

    KUALA LUMPUR: Some 1,000 homeless people in the capital will be placed at three National Service Training Programme (PLKN) camps during the enforcement of the Movement Control Order (MCO) in the country.

    Kuala Lumpur mayor Datuk Nor Hisham Ahmad Dahlan (pix) said the identified camps are in Kuala Kubu Baru, Semenyih and Sepang.

    “We are aware that they don’t have a place to stay during the implementation of the MCO, that is why we are taking this proactive measure.

    “They will be screened and placed at the respective camps based on their health status and citizenship,” he told Bernama today.

    He said Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) was currently making necessary preparations before carrying out the plan, to be assisted by the Royal Malaysia Police, National Anti-Drugs Agency and other related agencies.

    The MCO, which began nationwide on March 18 to curb the spread of Covid-19, is effective until April 14. — Bernama
