It appears that a possible strain of the coronavirus has spread to Nigeria. The name of the virus is the Lassa virus. The difference is that the coronavirus causes pneumonia while the Lassa virus causes the Lassa fever, which has ravaged the West African country.
This fever has continued to spread throughout Nigeria during the month of January. As of today, the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) has stated that there are 258 confirmed cases with 41 deaths across 19 states in Nigeria. The spreading of this virus is put into better terms when realized that there are 36 states that form Nigeria. Basically, half of the country could be infected.
Possibly, this virus could spread to other countries as many Nigerians travel to countries throughout the world, such as the USA and the UK.
It seems like a global outbreak
Yes, it’s in over 60 countries around the world now. Something good to use around the house for coronavirus protection is Lysol
The virus has already reached Europe …. to France and Germany
As long as they continue to keep people isolated, then it will be stopped soon.
Hopefully if we don’t write any good … hygiene is a very important factor here
Thank you for the information. That new strain is scary because of the number of contamination in your country. Yesterday I had read a post of 1 contamination of corona virus in Kenya.
Coronavirus is spreading quicker than normal viruses. The Lassa virus has spread before to the entire western part of Africa in the past.
Globalization has its negative sides, like viruses spreading so eaily all over the world
Yes, they keep showing the map with it spreading day by day
This is a scary virus that is spreading world wide.
Yeah, everyone waited too late to quarantine the virus.
