The number of Covid-19 cases detected in the country recently indicates that a second wave of the outbreak has begun. Yet many Nigerians are not ready to take precautions of regular use of facemasks, handwashing, social distancing and the use of sanitizer against the disease.
With this NatureNews went to town in attempt to know why many no longer take precautions against covid-19.
Pastor John: Covid-19 is real. But it can’t stop a man from making his daily bread. Things are hard in the land. Why should I go buying facemasks, sanitizers when children are crying for food. I prefer not to die of hunger than to die of Covid-19.
Frank Obi: When the tommy is fed, we can think of facemask. Facemask cannot close a month that hasn’t been fed.
Hassan Sanni: Covid-19 does not exist. Government is lying about it. As a labourer going to site everyday to look for what to eat since, nothing has happened. I’m here and healthy.
