While the governments around the world are implementing travel restrictions, border closures and lockdowns in an effort to slow the spread of coronavirus, a school yet to be identified in Lagos State, yesterday took some children to the airport, on excursion.
Excursion to the airport at this period, is a high risk zone for coronavirus, more so, when schools should ordinarily be on compulsory break to curtail an outbreak.
More should be done in the area of creating an awareness, this is because most people are not aware of coronavirus nor its impact when there is an outbreak.
Schools should step up efforts to protect staff and children amid heightened concern over the outbreak of the deadly virus which originated from the Chinese city of Wuhan.
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus that began in China about three months ago has now infected more than 7,760 people across all 50 U.S. states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico.
COVID-19, a respiratory illness, has killed at least 139 people in the United States.
The disease has spread to every continent except Antarctica, infecting more than 214,800 people globally and killing over 8,730, according to data compiled by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University.
