Coronavirus : First Lady calls for total lockdown
Nigeria’s First Lady, Aisha Buhari, has commended state governors for closing down schools to stop the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). She, however, warned that the measure could be counterproductive if parents are not home with them.
Tweeting in her verified Twitter handle, @aishambuhari, Mrs Buhari warned: “We should not isolate the students and expose their parents. She called for a total lockdown to tackle the pandemic that has claimed over 14,000 lives worldwide. She tweeted: “It is commendable that state governors have closed down schools; however, this could be counterproductive if parents are still going to work. We should not isolate students and expose their parents. Let us remember that they will meet at home. #TotalLockDown #StayAtHome”
