Good morning friends, please I need your advise. I plan to travel to see my wife today but I'm a bit sceptical about it. I'm based in Lagos and I travel home every weekend to see her. Although we were together last weekend. We've been married for 6 years now.

I've been feeling a bit unwell since last week Thursday, although not a serious one. I've been on Typhoid medication since Tuesday but I'm somehow scared.

This is how the fear started. Early this week, I and my two colleagues followed my boss to work, on getting to work, I discovered that one of my colleagues that we came together in my boss car started sneezing (not a terrible one) and the other one too was coughing. Anyway, they've both treated themselves and they've resumed back to work. The guy that sneezed attributed it to the exposure of his body to cold.
The issue now is I'm still feeling a bit unwell, just a normal temperature of 36.8, I'm not coughing neither I'm I sneezing, (although i coughed like 2 to 3 times overnight). I don't have sorethroat too. But I'm a bit tired with a slight headache and I'm still using my Typhoid medicine. So I just don't know what to do. If I should travel or not because she's already waiting for me. Please I need your blunt and medical advise, because I've started having some wide imaginations and also my mind is trying to make me sense of feel I have a sore throat. Please advise me.

You're Safe just Go

Tell her how you feel and postpone your movement to next weekend... it's well with you
And if the cough persists, you visit the hospital.

Better stay where you are until you're certain of your health.

If u av own private car.....then go.....if not pls stay at home.

Avoid public transport for now.

Family is the most important, but safety should come first. You are partially ill, and you don't need to stress yourself further. Take your medication until you are strong.

There is one thing your wife and children love so much: you!

I also think you are over thinking, you might have got the wrong concept of him[the second guy] sneezing, thereby having the impression he has contracted Covid-19.

You can also do the following: Take your medications, use hand sanitiser, wash your hands after mistakenly shaking someone, drink mush water so as to flush any virus on your throat, and stay 1.5 metres when someone talks to you.

If you are really determined to see them, you can also explain to them over the phone of your situations. Entering a bus in Lagos while this plague is still one can be very risky...... Ever wonder why markets were shut down yesterday?

Stay safe, remain healthy; and be very careful while at work.

The fear now is she already came to visit during the weekend. And even though if I have/had any infections, hope she's hasn't been infected.

No, no and no.

Pls, for the sake of your wife and your children, stay where you are. You can call more often, send more money or what ever, but until you are certain of your status don't visit.

Thanks a lot.
But I'm a bit concerned because she came over during the weekend and I was already feeling feverish that time.

Please stay where you are
