The Honourable Minister @Fmohnigeria has announced a second confirmed case of #COVID19 in Nigeria.

This second case is a contact of the index case, in Ogun state. The new case has been in isolation and was tested as part of our strategy to test all contacts of the index case.
Recent studies have shown that increased surveillance, isolation of contacts & in particular, contact tracing reduces the risk of spread of #COVID19

All other contacts of the index case in Ogun & Lagos will remain in isolation & testing will be done on those not yet tested
Since the first case was confirmed in Lagos, the NCDC has been supporting the Ogun State Emergency Operations Centre to respond accordingly

We urge the public not to panic. You can protect yourself using these six steps #COVID19Nigeria

Our attention has been drawn to a message circulating on WhatsApp and this tweet, purporting that there is a suspected #Lassafever case in the Asokoro District Hospital. This is entirely FALSE.
The recent national #Lassafever situation report indicates there has been no confirmed Lassa fever case in the FCT since February 2019. Contrary to the message being circulated, no death has been recorded from Lassa fever in the FCT this month. Available: ncdc.gov.ng/diseases/sitre…
The NCDC appreciates Nigerians for bringing this rumour to our notice. We urge everyone to stay alert for #Lassafever, know the symptoms and report immediately to a health facility when symptoms are observed, to increase the chances of survival.

I gathered some alarming information on the rise of #COVID in Iran in this thread. I can see that it has been read by many hence increases my responsibility on what I share now.
As I stated before:

- I am not a trained reporter or journalist
- I am not based in Iran
- Not affiliated with any poilitical group, for or against the government
- Most of my information comes from the internet with occasional conversations with people in Iran
Today I shall try to gather information which I will share in the thread below.

10 Amazing Facts You Probably Don’t Know About #Nigeria

1) Nigeria is home to seven percent (7%) of the total languages spoken on earth. Taraba state alone has more languages than 30 African countries.
2) The Walls of Benin (800-1400AD) in present day Edo State, are the longest ancient earthworks in the world, and probably the largest man-made structure on earth. They enclose 6500 square kilometers of community lands that connected about 500 communities. .
At over 16000km long, it was thought to be twice the length of the Great Wall of China, until it was announced in 2012 (after five years of meticulous measurement by Chinese surveyors) that the Great Wall is about 21,000km long

Zamfara State has:
Worst insecurity problem in NW #Nigeria
Over 20% of children out of school
Only 46.3% primary school completion rate
Least Early Childcare Development (ECD) centres in #Nigeria
MMR at 1,100 deaths per 100,000
Yet, the priority project of its new Gov is airport?
Zamfara's 2017 population was 4.7 million across 14 LGAs. It has 345 medical Drs, with 270 or 78% of them in the State capital, Gusau. The remaining 13 LGAs with over 4m ppl are served by just 75 Drs, i.e 1 Dr per 53,333 or less than 6 Drs per LGA.

With over 1,014,136 Women of Child Bearing Age (WCBA) in Zamfara, the state records 11, 000 Maternal Deaths annually. In other words, every day, at least 30 women will die during childbirth in Zamfara. For every 100,000 pregnant women, 1,100 will die

This retraction by @AlJazeera actually raises more questions than answers, and to my mind at least, brings to the fore, the fact that our Federal Republic of Anyhowness, has gone global...
Yesterday, asides @AlJazeera_World, other news outlets, including the Twitter only news outlet, @spectatorindex said that #Nigeria's ambassador had attended the opening of the American Embassy in #Jerusalem.
Isreali outlets such at @TimesofIsrael and @HamodiaIL also ran with the news. @haaretzcom actually went so far as to publish an infograph that included #Nigeria's name as one of the country's "celebrating with them" on the grand new opening...
