[BREAKING NEWS] Coronavirus: President Buhari is Appealing to Nigerians

President Muhammadu Buhari has supported the first run through since the affirmation of Nigeria's first instance of the coronavirus (COVID-19).

This is coming in the midst of open frenzy incited by the affirmation of the Nigeria's first instance of coronavirus, barely any days back.

President Buhari discharged an announcement on his Twitter, asking residents to "avoid alarm" since "undue alert would cause more damage than anything else".

He composed:

We must refrain from panic; undue alarm would cause more harm than good. The only information citizens should pay attention to is the one being shared by the World Health Organisation (WHO), Federal & State Ministries of Health, and the Nigeria Center for Disease Control (NCDC).

I commend the excellent responses of the Federal Ministry of Health, Nigeria Center for Disease Control, Governments of Lagos & Ogun, and all other agencies, to the Coronavirus situation in Nigeria. I urge all Nigerians to strictly observe all the advisories being disseminated.

The patient, who is an Italian citizen working in Nigeria, flew into Lagos from Milan last week and precautionary measures have been carried out as swiftly as possible in preventing the spread of the virus in other parts of the state and Nigeria at large.
