Covid-19: Poor Adherence to Safety Measures Responsible for Community Transmission, Says PPHSN
The Parasitology and Public Health Society of Nigeria has expressed concern that poor adherence to safety measures is encouraging community transmission of the coronavirus pandemic within the country.
She said: “When droplets from infected persons fall on surfaces such as table tops, chair arms, door knobs, handset and others, the virus can remain viable in these droplets for a few days. When these surfaces come into contact with human hands they can be picked up and transferred to either the nose or eyes or mouth when the person rubs his eyes or nose or puts the unwashed hands in the mouth.
She urged members of the society to create special awareness on the need to obey the Nigerian Government on social distancing.
