From Nigeria to South Africa, London to France, Spain to Italy, and China to the United States, lockdowns, social distancing, use of face masks and hand gloves, washing of hands and use of sanitisers are some of remedial actions taken to combat COVID-19
On-going efforts by humanity to grapple with the coronavirus pandemic have been multi-faceted. From Nigeria to South Africa, from London to France, from Spain to Italy, from China to the United States, lockdowns, social distancing, use of face masks and hand gloves, washing of hands and use of sanitisers are some of the remedial actions taken to curtail the spread of the disease while the world scrambles to find a vaccine and ultimately, a cure.
A picture of President Muhammadu Buhari holding a teleconference with some of his ministers confirms the pivotal role being played by telecommunications in our nation currently, an activity that was not publicly known to have been in place at the government before now. No doubt, telecoms has brought sophistication in the way our government runs activities now.
It is also possible that there has been an upsurge in the use of telecommunication services by individuals and organisations since the deployment of the stay-at-home panacea to curtail the spread of the virus. Professionals working from home must have been consuming a lot of data to perform their tasks and meet their obligations.
Four weeks into the lockdown, even though I feel secure from the dreaded virus my cabin fever quotient is on the rise as a result of being confined to the four walls of my house. However, my smartphone, PC and my mobile service provider, Glo, have been wonderful allies. As if to ameliorate the effects of cabin fever on customers like me, Glo has gone ahead to offer what they aptly call a “Stay Home” data plan, which gives me an extra 20% bonus on the data plans I buy.
