Mr Abayomi, in the advisory video had listed out the symptoms of the 2019-nCoV and told Lagosians that “if you feel that you are experiencing any of the symptoms or have had a contact either by virtue of travel to South-east Asia or you have come in contact with people that have come in from South East Asia, we will like you to present yourself at one of our general hospitals.”
