In response to the
outbreak of a novel coronavirus in China, Thailand, Japan, the Republic of
Korea and the United States of America, the Port Health Services Unit of the
Federal Ministry of Health in Nigeria has been placed on alert and has
heightened screening measures at the points of entry.
Disclosing this development in a public health
advisory on Wednesday, the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, NCDC, urged
Nigerians to remain calm.
“Travelers from Nigeria to Wuhan, China, are
advised to avoid contact with sick people, animals (alive or dead), and animal
markets. “Travelers from Wuhan to Nigeria may be asked questions upon arrival
by the Port Health Services unit at points of entry about symptoms of illness
and travel history, and are advised to report immediately to NCDC if they fell
ill after a trip to Wuhan.” The advisory said the Federal Ministry of Health
through NCDC.
