See List Of Local Government Councils In Nigeria With Highest Covid-19 Cases

Weeks after the coronavirus invaded Nigeria, the Minister of health, a lockdown order from the federal government, was passed, in order to curb the spread of the pandemic.

Consequently, businesses were closed, as well as interstate travels. Schools and Churches weren't exempted.

Furthermore, health workers were deployed to various communities, moving around to administer electronic questionaires, at homes and local medical facilities, checking to ensure no covid-19 cases exist in communities.

This, was geared towards intensifying the search for possible cases of covid-19 in communities and local government areas.

Residents were encouraged to give full support to the health workers, by providing accurate answers to their questions, and reporting any cases of cough, headache and fever.

The result of this community to community search is what I am about to share with you.
