The recent rampage of coronavirus spreading like a wildfire around the world is a matter of utmost concern to every government of nations and Nigeria inclusive with 343 comfirmed cases with 91 discharged and 10 death recorded as at 13th April, 2020 by National Centre for Disease Control(NCDC). In the adverse of no vaccine, WHO has issued guidelines on how to prevent the pandemic from further spreading from one to another and special health care is given to people whom tested positive to Covid-19 in different established facilities around the country. The case of patients testing negative twice concurrently warranted their discharge from facilities, hence, free to go home to their respective families and society. Why the hurry?


In as much it is a thing of joy to experience recoveries haven tested negative on two different occasion consistently at intervals, govermment should not loose guard easily on discharged patients yet as report of cases of patients tested positive again, afterwards, has emerged in South Korea. Although, it is unclear if it was a case of reinfection or resurface of coronavirus in about 123 people discharged initially. Intuitively, I expect the Nigerian government to relocate the discharged patients to a different establishment more conducive and accomodating compared to initial facility, with necesssary essentials to allow them feel relaxed, interact with families, loved ones and outside world but not physical yet, for a period of 28 days. During this period, government should study and monitor their consistent progress and establish a definite clean bill of health for them before releasing them to their respective family members. Irrespective of emotion, trauma and physical cost implication, government must do what is right to enable us sustain the gains of full recovery from the pandemic.


There should be legislation to prevent stigmatization, encourage testing and treatment of patients for free. Freedom of all is not negotiable but healthy nation is collective responsibility of individuals and government. I must commend the government, individuals and corporations whom have joined the course of fighting this pandemic in Nigeria and around the world, especially our frontline workers, more power to your elbow. Note, there is light at the end of the tunnel, though the world is still in the tunnel. By God's grace, we shall win this battle.

My question is how were they cured?
Since there is no vaccine for the virus

We've got to clear the backlog.

Op you're right. I just this video and decided to share what I saw. And from the looks of things its too soon for patients who tested covid-19 positive to be released to their loved ones. https://www.facebook.com/ScienceNaturePage/videos/245509606567904/
