one of the reasons why most nigerians are not is because nigeria is no stranger to this craig zone 2014. is a city of 20000000 people it could have been an epidemic. and no nigerian health authorities are receiving praise from around the world including the world health organization for their efforts in stopping the spread of . passing just coming into the country have to scream at different points of entry they must pass on all their information to authorities this is an example of the form. to feel as soon as they arrive before they. always includes information like information flight information health symptoms and there's a question here that says in the last 2 weeks have you heard of anyone who was not

feeling well so after offering this. to health officials. to passengers and those they have made contact with will be contacted if there is any suspected case of the virus on their flight even though most i spoke to. them. simply aren't busy. on devices like rest richard. so why haven't we seen as many coronavirus cases in africa it's on so this. morning on the program he's a former world health organization viral is just for the region africa professor we'll get to that question in a moment but 1st ship people in nigeria be a little bit more concerned about the coronavirus and they are at the moment. agri we do very much that we should be more concerned than we are that we've discovered
7:36 pm
a 2nd piece if you dread gaze after the testimony and there's a somebody in nigeria who are the 1st because we've sort of not discovered of all of the people who charge with that guy i think the people we have not given you to do we should give my consent now cause interact with others and i share in the saying things like we've beat a bolo we can beat the car on a virus if that knowledge is correct german is not after we need to pull out we said we have and that is vacuum of what we do control of the yellow fever so if you couldn't beat those ones who will do some of the countries in there we can do to going to various this is quite different from what you have you with intense of the reach of transmission to do so this speech which becomes much more difficult than. it would have as for example looking at the map of where the the cases of this outbreak have been confirmed the african looks pretty much seen both as if i can
7:37 pm
say that compared to you know places like europe why is it that we haven't seen so many cases in africa we're having this huge audience one thing that the environmental conditions. given the fact that you have knives you winter to do what you do you can preach your environment that temperature need be. and or shut up you are of the project and the intersect in separation is when you have the mouth guardian must and will people wish to spread the disease so right now i guess not having to do 2 things with what i said also the fact that we are not detected if you do find it not but if the average is a very young continent does that mean that when coronavirus does raise that people will be a bit of a place to survive that we've heard things like it is the albanian people with existing conditions that almost honorable it's a clone of a very minor event they have to choose. when will he use in africa then the vibrant
7:38 pm
us to extract. and measurement the condition you thought of as such so i don't think we can rely too much divest and he's not again he's not acting young people are not going. to not die as much as. a little old age group. that coronavirus kong by africans very hyped in places that some of the stuff that you see on social media when you look at the. characters are christians of those viruses if you read temperatures lou temperatures on the deuce of an environment but when you get to an environment like some of the ones you're having are going to jump when and which is $3030.00 degrees it degrees and even for t.v. since you get that of their let you survive and you know go on so it's you know that it was a total sticky tons of m. and a crash compared to this is a year of which temperatures are much more of a how well placed in nigeria. in terms of how would it cope if if the number of
7:39 pm
cases was to start increasing to keep it but it is of nigeria cannot be focused on 2 or 3 places where we're talking of niggas with a can of a project i don't have to feel confident that all the states in the country aspartate that because i was a bit of a capitalist there are other countries us to move into any that action or even the one state you begin to take action on g.d.p. since i've been discovered this gives the win to win states so as not you shows films that are farther removed from lugo's i will have to take the act i don't think we are taking it seriously and 3 part of the country should be perfect not just in uganda or not he will come soon get more distance from which and to go into the heart of the country i get to be worried it will be a difficult. all right that's professor well you know a little mari. thank you staying on coronavirus i'm going down south to
