PLEASE, if you test positive for #COVID19 during the lockdown or self-isolation, do alert those with whom you’ve come in contact during the incubation period of the virus. This may prevent further spread by unsuspecting potential carriers likely to transmit to friends and family.

@FedUp9jaMan Admittedly a 50/50-chance question might not be the best way to go about it.

[Mohammed Bukar @mobukar]

@FedUp9jaMan Ask "who will win the next presidential election". Then wait and see. 😊
