How nationwide lockdown will affect COVID19 lagoslockdown day32oflockdown
, health workers fear containing the ravaging virus may become more complex leading to an upward spiral in casualties.
Same Saturday, no fewer than 12 prominent persons in Kano had died mysteriously of a sickness, which source has confounded the state government. Many of the offenders complained that the lockdown was already taking a huge toll on their health and economy. According to him, what the government would have desired is voluntary compliance, which he said it enjoyed from the people in the early days of the restriction ordered by the governor and eventual lockdown by the President.
Yet, health workers insist the number has continued to grow nationally because many of the citizens have continued to flout the stay-at-home order. They said two factors – the grown capacity for testing, occasioned by more states coming up with testing and isolation centres, and the prevalence for many citizens to travel despite the restriction order.
Atanda was not alone. Many insisted that though there were pockets of restlessness across the country and violence already recorded in some states, such as Lagos, which recorded the resurgence of the One Million Boys, a band of hoodlums, who visited several communities with violence in the last two weeks, yet, these were not enough reason for the government to abdicate its responsibility of protecting lives.
For health experts, flattening the curve might become more complicating, if Nigerians continue to wilfully flout the stay-at-home order. A media executive reviewing the situation said the fear was that the lockdown may be ineffectual if extended nationwide.
