Nigerians on social media have reacted to confirmation of 21 new cases of COVID-19 in Gombe State.
Recall that the NCDC had while confirming that the country now has 1095 confirmed cases of disease, said it recorded 21 cases in Gombe State.
Reacting, some Nigerians called for a total lockdown of the State as the curfew imposed was yielding no result.
Others, however, urged the State governement to provide good measures to curb the spread.
Here are some comments DAILY POST gathered:
@Guaisehappy, “Are yoh wondering why Gombe got 21 new cases? Well If
You Must know Gombe Government Imposes a curfew from 6pm – 7am instead
of a 24hours total lockdown.”
@nanale, “I’m saddened to know that with the rising confirmed cases
in Gombe state.There is no testing center in the state, the governor has
not put in place a total lockdown but a dusk till dawn curfew (6-7)”
@Labellefu, “#80inlagos yet my worry is the number that will be
announced for #kano. #Gombe already leaves me worried as #Katsina will
record more.Who else already agree we shall have more states joining
Lagos, Ogun and Abuja on compulsory #LockDownNigeria.”
@jalowaziri, “Gombe is getting bad but I think their contact tracing
is strong and have ramped up testing as well hence the jump in positive
cases.”
@Mikesdeyanju, “Gombe pulls out a shocker. Kano suffers a second
straight defeat as many as they have gone since their rejuvenation.”
@alhaji_maimoji, “Your excellency @GovernorInuwa, It’s high time you
consider taking more serious measures to stop the spread of the virus.
Within a week,Gombe has recorded about 30 cases. The number will keep
rising(God forbid) if people are treated lightly. #lockdowngombe.”
@jinikay, “Gombe are doing well for fishing out these cases. The ones
that aren’t reporting anything are the most dangerous, similar figures
should be expected from many states. Gombe can get ahead many states
with their testing strategy and if they conduct aggressive contact
tracing.”
@Nedinaija, “So Nigeria has crossed the 1000 mark for Coronavirus. (Total = 1095).
What’s the back story to Gombe State having 21 cases in one day?”
@Its_adj_jr, “ #Gombe ooo 21 New cases making the sum of 30 by NCDC
and #CONVID19 having the total 1k+ at large.#Lagos Na them get the Lion
share. What is happening.God safe us abeg.”
@7wista, “@GovernorInuwa honestly I know you don’t tweet but this is
suppose to get to you, Gombe needs a Total lock down for some days at
least with the rapid increase in No. of cases before adjusting to the
irrelevant curfew. #Covid19 #Gombe.”
@Abdallahmissi, “It’s devastating seeing my beloved state, Gombe
recording exponential cases of #COVID19. Just few days we had our index
cases, today we have 30 — all within a week! Please let’s #StayHome and
observe #SocialDistancingNow. May we all be safe.”
@nnjida, “With over 20 cases reported yesterday in Gombe State, what
is Mr. Governor doing/has done to minimize or stop the spread of the
virus?”
@Hgashua, And Gombe I wonder who you people are competing with in
this covid race,y’all better stay home and relax because we still have
grannies over there and we care about y’all.“
