A medical expert, Dr Arun Balaganga, has urged Nigerians, especially those that have tested negative for Coronavirus, to continue to take precautionary measures to avoid being infected the second time.

Balaganga, the Managing Director of Indian International Healthcare Centre in Abuja, said this on Sunday in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria .

“We do not have 100 per cent clear-cut theories about the transmission dynamics of COVID-19 because the World Health Organisation , said earlier that it is not so risky, but later declared it a public health global emergency.“At some point, they said it was airborne, and later they said it was not airborne; so we do not have a clear picture on this.

“So, it’s unlikely that the person may get infected with the same strain or probably; in case of immuno-compromised people, recurring infections can be common. It’s just like someone catching cold multiple times.According to him, the myth that hot temperature kills Coronavirus has not been proven going by the rate of infection and transmission of the virus in Africa, particularly in Nigeria with hot climate.

“Obviously, there is a situation where one group is treated with a particular drug while another group could use plausible drugs like vitamin C, and so on.
