Nigerian Celebs Self-Isolate During COVID-19

If anyone can make the best of social distancing and self-quarantine, it would be celebs.

Several Nigerian celebrities are now in self-isolation. This came after the Government announced that they might have come in contact with a person that tested positive for coronavirus at the 2020 Africa Movie Viewers’ Choice (AMVCA); that held at the Eko Hotels & Suites on Sunday, March 14, 2020. The directive to self-isolate during COVID-19 came from the Lagos State Ministry of Health.

Once the message went out, Banky and his wife responded that they were already self-isolating. They also requested that their colleagues do the same.

Mrs W and were already self-isolating since last week.. and here’s the thing… everyone else who attended the AMVCA’s should already have been doing the same. This threat is real. Don’t wait until you know an infected person before you take it seriously. Please. https://t.co/iKYn9ORjDQ

Self-Isolate During COVID-19: Nigeria’s First Daughter Is Not Left Out

self-isolate during covid-19

One of Nigeria’s first daughters, who recently returned from the U.K., is in self-isolation because of the coronavirus, according to the country’s first lady.

“Earlier today my daughter returned from the UK being among the high burden listed countries of COVID-19,” Aisha Buhari tweeted without naming the daughter. “Based on the advice of the Hon. Minister Of Health, Presidential Task Force on COVID – 19 and that of [Nigeria Centre for Disease Control], she is on self-isolation, not because she displayed any symptoms of the COVID-19.”

“Please I urge all parents to do the same if possible as prevention is better than cure,” she added.

The first lady also announced she closed her office as a preventive measure.

“Similarly, I have shut down my office for two weeks with immediate effect while essential staff can work from home as a result of some staff who recently returned from the UK,” she tweeted.

The actions follow Nigeria’s first death from the virus that was confirmed on Wednesday.
