Coronavirus Disease 2019: Numbers to Call in Case of Emergency in Your Community

By

In this article you are going to find all the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) emergency helplines  for all the states in Nigeria. Please call your state's line in case of emergency.

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 is gradually gaining ground and spreading in Nigeria.

There are more than 80 cases confirmed at the moment, most of these people are returnees from high-risk countries , but the greater danger is with community spread. This is because Nigeria has a below par health infrastructure to handle over 200 million people in an emergency.

What is Community Spread?

Community spread is when a number of people become infected and show symptoms of a disease like the Coronavirus disease but they are not sure about how or where they got it from.

A number of returnees to Nigeria flouted the self-isolation directives of the NCDC including top government officials, and this has exposed millions of Nigerians to the dangers of the Community spread of the novel Coronavirus.

This is one BIG reason why everyone needs to be careful. The goal is to minimize the spread, and this is what the NCDC is working towards.

Here is the list of helplines you can call in your state in the case of a suspected case of COVID-19.
