What is coronavirus?
The world Health Organisation WHO, has defined Coronaviruses as a large family of viruses which may cause illness in animals or humans.

WHO says “in humans, several coronaviruses are known to cause respiratory infections ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). The most recently discovered https://www.who.int/news-room/q-a-detail/q-a-coronaviruses#:~:text=symptoms causes coronavirus disease COVID-19”.

What is COVID-19?
According to WHO, https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/2500114-overview is the infectious disease caused by the most recently discovered coronavirus. This new virus and disease were unknown before the outbreak began in Wuhan, China, in December 2019.

How COVID-19 will affect the lives of Nigerians
The coronavirus pandemic which started in china in late 2019 has since spread across the world posing serious challenges to individuals and governments as well. We know that certainly this would be over, but one thing is that it will forever change some things in the society.

In a bid to contain the deadly covid-19 virus, http://informationace.com/coronavirus-6-ways-covid-19-will-affect-life-of-nigerians/.

The Nigerian government is taking serious actions to contain the covid-19 virus just as the rest of the world. The country which is fast approaching 200 confirmed cases of the disease have had some high profile citizens such as the Chief of staff to the president, Mr. Abba Kyari test postive to the dreaded covid-19 virus.

Nigerians since the outbreak of the virus in the country, has been forced to adapt a strange but inevitable way of living. Nigerians naturally don’t like dull moments, but now they are compelled to stay indoors and maintain high level of social distancing.

As earlier mentioned, this will be all over, but we are looking at how it will impact our way of living when it is finally gone. Here are the six ways the coronavirus will change the life of Nigerians.

1. More Believe In God Nigeria already is a highly religious country, but this pandemic is bringing more people closer to God. We are realizing more that life is truly vanity with the way people are dying. Many have been humbled and many more are calling for serious prayers in this hard times. It is a time for us to acknowledge the supremacy of God, for we live only by his grace.

2. Paying More Attention To Personal Hygiene All of a sudden, hand sanitizer and nose mask has become part of our daily lives, but in reality even when this virus is gone, it is important that this trend should continue. The use of sanitizer and disinfectants helps to prevent us from different bacteria and viruses that lead to most illnesses. We must therefore practice high level of personal hygiene.

3. More Love Towards One Another From the federal government sharing money to poor Nigerians, to prominent citizens donating and celebrities holding giveaways on social media, this coronavirus period has become a period of giving. People are realizing that people really need some form of assistance.

In our everyday lives, people will need our help, it must not be in the form of food or money, it can come in any other form. The most important thing is for us to develop a heart of compassion towards the less privileged.

4. More Commitment Towards Our Health Care The government had neglected our health care system to suffer with lack of funding and a lot of corruption in the system. The coronavirus pandemic is presenting to us a golden opportunity to reform our healthcare and this must be done.

The lack of ventilators and other vital equipments is posing a great threat to the fight against the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19). When it is all over, we as a nation have to upgrade our facilities in the health sector.

5. Living a life of solitude Sometimes, the best time to realize truly who we are is when we are alone. The coronavirus has made people stay alone for sometime, this will reduce the choices and opinion the world is trying to force upon us everyday, thus leading to more self-realization and awareness. When this is over many will have learnt the benefit of staying alone and mediation, especially the inner peace it brings.

6. Loving Our Families More Due to work and other life pursuits, many have not had time for their families, but this period many are spending more quality time with their families. This will surely remind us that in the end, there is nothing bigger than family, family is the place to go where there is no place else. We therefore must increase our love and bond in our respective families.

7. Tourism also affected In a recent chat with Techpoint, Damola, who runs a tour company, revealed that there had been times when his company had to pay to make trips happen because the number of people required for a trip’s profitability was not reached.

Given the flight cancellations around the world resulting from the outbreak of the COVID-19, he says, “We are currently at the stage of re-evaluating our travel plans, and this is not very good for business.”

Tayo, with whom we also had a chat recently, believes that the reduction in sales being recorded is the result of people’s fear of travelling at this point.

8. Education using social media As with many things on social media platforms, there is a healthy dose of misinformation being passed around and Tayo, who opines that “this period calls for consciousness on hygiene and self-awareness,” says, “we are educating them on the need for travel insurance.”

He believes social media is an option for getting the right information out.

Though different travel insurance packages exist, one of the objectives of medical insurance is to “provide support if there’s a health emergency,” Tayo says.

Considering the average Nigerian’s aversion for insurance, the availability of medical insurance has done little to encourage the potential vacationer to go on that long-awaited trip.
