Tackling The Corona Pandemic

The coronavirus is the biggest threat this country has faced for decades – and this country is not alone.

All over the world we are seeing the devastating impact of this invisible killer.

And so today I want to update you on the latest steps the government is taking to fight the disease and what you can do to help.
Without a huge national effort to halt the growth of this virus, there will come a moment when no health service in the world could possibly cope; because there won’t be enough ventilators, enough intensive care beds, enough doctors and nurses.

And as we have seen elsewhere, in other countries that also have fantastic health care systems, that is the moment of real danger.

To put it simply, if too many people become seriously unwell at one time, the health workers will be unable to handle it - meaning more people are likely to die, not just from Coronavirus but from other illnesses as well.
So it’s vital to slow the spread of the disease.

Because that is the way we reduce the number of people needing hospital treatment at any one time, so we can protect the health workers ability to cope - and save more lives.

And that’s why the government have been asking people to stay at home during this pandemic.

And though huge numbers are complying - and I thank you all - the time has now come for us all to do more.

From today I must give Nigerians a very simple instruction - you must stay at home.

Because the critical thing we must do is stop the disease spreading between households.

I know the damage that this disruption is doing and will do to people’s lives, to their businesses and to their jobs.

And that’s why the government have produced a huge and unprecedented programme of support both for workers and for business.

But at present there are just no easy options. The way ahead is hard, and it is still true that many lives will sadly be lost.

And yet it is also true that there is a clear way through.

I want to thank everyone who is working flat out to beat the virus.

Each and every one of us is now obliged to join together.

To halt the spread of this disease.

To protect our health workers and to save many many thousands of lives.

And I know that as they have in the past so many times.

The people of this country will rise to that challenge.

And we will come through it stronger than ever.

We will beat the coronavirus and we will beat it together.

And therefore I urge you at this moment of national emergency to stay at home, protect our health workers and save lives.

Thank you.
