The first thing is to try not to panic and get healthcare news from only verified sources.

While at home, keep up healthy practices like light exercise, eat a lot of fruits and vegetables or if these aren’t readily available due to the lockdown, vitamin supplements may help. Try to avoid over-eating and taking alcohol. If you are hypertensive, diabetic or have other long-term illnesses, please make sure you are taking your medication religiously. This way you can avoid health complications not even related to coronavirus.

We need to understand that the healthcare sector in Nigeria has been neglected for a long time and this disease came upon us suddenly. I would say that within the limits of available infrastructure, human capital and funding, the government has responded well in terms of screening, case detection and management. The other measures like the movement restrictions would help in reducing the spread of the disease; as it is very contagious and easily spread in crowded places and human contact.

I have always had a different outlook with respect to healthcare services delivery in general. This pandemic has somehow proven my inclination by exposing the general weakness in healthcare services delivery the world over. Although every country has goals and plans to deliver the best care to its citizens, implementing these goals has always been the challenge. That said, I don’t believe that any two countries can implement the same cocktail of services with equal results.

A lot of herbal concoctions and remedies are being touted as cures for the virus; what’s your opinion on this?
