Following the ongoing lockdown in the state, it is of essence to urge the government to ensure sustainable post-lock down strategies towards curbing the spread of this novel virus. Several strategies should be employed for markets, schools, offices, event centers and other public places which must ensure reinforcement of frequent hand washing and sanitization at entrances and exits of premises.
Prepare and maintain handwashing stations with soap, running water and hand sanitizers.
Routine cleaning and disinfection of school buildings, shops, classrooms especially water and sanitization facilities at least once a day particularly surfaces that are touched by many people (railings, tables, doors, window handles, teaching and learning aides).
A passionate plea to the state government to subsidize or freely distribute nose/mouth covers, hand sanitizers, hand gloves to Anambrarians.
Establish a task force to ensure compliance to use of the above PPE.
Enforce safe distancing, with disciplinary measures put in place for defaulters. For how long will the people.
Survive a comprehensive lockdown without palliative measures in place.
Anambrarians are getting hungry, our stores are getting depleted. No Covid-19 related death has been recorded so far within the state, but a life has been lost to gunfire by The Nigerian police force.
These above strategies if employed, would go a long way towards curbing the spread of Covid-19 and similar communicable diseases while we are allowed to march on with daily lives. There is a need to reopen markets and business as hunger and crime is yet to be unveiled as the new enemy.
Thanks.
