SENEGAL'S PROACTIVE STRATEGY AND PANDEMIC VIRUS IN NIGERIA

SENEGAL'S PROACTIVE STRATEGY AND PANDEMIC VIRUS IN NIGERIA

"To achieve victory we must mass our forces at the hub of all power & movement. The enemy's center of gravity"- Carl von Clausewitz
************************************************
I don't know if our leaders are looking at the proactive strategy of the administration in Senegal. I know for certain from my contacts there, first incidence of Coronavirus in the country was 2nd March and I knew they are better prepared. The country is on partial lockdown and they are flattening the curve still. Till yesterday 26th April there are 671 cases, 283 recovered and 9 deaths

It's not just the Western world that has the scientific know-how to beat the virus, in Senegal a laboratory has used its AIDS and Ebola experience to develop a $1 (One United States Dollars) COVID-19 testing kit. So what do we have in Nigeria? which laboratory in Nigeria is developing a testing kit for the virus

I am sure we realise to overcome the challenges posed by COVID-19 we need to be proactive and treat it like an enemy just like Senegal did, a little nation of 16 million inhabitants, by the way the cases there were more than the incidence of cases in Nigeria a month ago

"It is even better to act quickly and err than to hesitate until the time of action is past"- Carl von Clausewitz

Senegal confirms coronavirus case, becomes the forth in Africa

Senegal confirms coronavirus case, becomes the forth in Africa

Situation in China stabilizes, while global cases are on the rise


Another African country Senegal became the fourth country in Africa to confirm a coronavirus case after Egypt, Algeria and Nigeria.

Health Minister Diouf Sarr said a French man who lives in Senegal visited France in mid-February, contracting the virus before returning to the West African country.

The patient, according to the minister, is now in quarantine in the capital, Dakar.

China’s National Health Commission confirmed that the rate at which the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is spreading in China continues to slow in the past 24 hours, there have been about 100 new cases of infection. 

The total amount of those infected in China comes up to 80,100 people, while over 47,200 have recovered from the disease. 

The number of victims in China has risen by 31, reaching 2,943 people.

The improvement of the situation in China has caused a surge at the New York Stock Exchange, with key indices rising by 4.5-5%. Chinese stocks in Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hong Kong have also reported a surge. Brent and WTI oil prices have risen by 7% at an auction in London.


Coronavirus cases outside of China


At the same time, the number of states with reported cases of infection is on the rise: on Monday, first cases of COVID-19 have been documented in Latvia, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Senegal and Tunisia.

The number of coronavirus cases in South Korea, where the largest outbreak of the virus outside of China has been detected, has risen by 477 in the past 24 hours, reaching 4,812, while 29 people have succumbed to the disease, South Korean officials inform.

Italy continues to report the highest numbers in Europe: 1,835 people infected, including 52 deaths. In France, the number of coronavirus cases has surpassed 190, with three people dead. New cases of infection have been documented in Spain, Germany, Switzerland and several other states, including Belarus, where the number of those infected has risen to three.

The number of coronavirus deaths has increased from two to five in the US state of Washington. US President Donald Trump stated that the US government is considering additional travel restrictions to combat the spread of the infection. He did not rule out declaring a national emergency due to coronavirus, however, he noted that so far, it is premature.

US Vice President Mike Pence stated that the US might develop new medicine to combat the symptoms of the disease by summer or early fall.

On Monday, a man who returned from Italy tested positive for COVID-19 in Moscow. The officials ruled to hospitalize 24 people and quarantine 80 of those who came into contact with the infected man on their way to Moscow and after arriving in the Russian capital. All of them will be tested for coronavirus.

As of Tuesday morning, there have been no new cases of coronavirus in Russia, the press service of the Russian Federal Service for the Oversight of Consumer Protection and Welfare informed.

In late December 2019, Chinese authorities notified the World Health Organization (WHO) about an outbreak of a previously unknown pneumonia in the city of Wuhan, central China. WHO declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus a global health emergency and named the virus COVID-19. Cases of coronavirus have been reported in over 70 countries, including Russia.
