TWO WORDS TO KEEP IN MIND DURING THIS PANDEMIC PERIOD AS A NIGERIAN.

I have been pondering on this 2 words for some days now. So I want to share. This is not to scare anyone but to create awareness.

1. Nosocomial infections: These are infections gotten from hospitals. They may be caused by dirty hospital environment, unsterilized tools or even by medical personnel not taking precautionary measures. E.g You have a cut (injury) and you go for treatment in any health facility and maybe the tools were not properly sterilized....and you get tetanus, at that point, tetanus is a nosocomial infection. Any disease can be Nosocomial, thats why children ward can not also be adult wards and thats also why Highly infectious diseases are separated from other wards in the hospitals. You can actually contact a disease by going to the Hospital! Scary but true! Let's be guided.

2. Social Engineering: This is a sort of manipulating and defrauding people in disguise. How it concerns this Pandemic is like this...people are cashing in on the opportunities of this period to gather peoples data for fraudulent reasons. Some are creating false broadcasts that Fed Govt wants to pay stipends to citizens via National ID...it ends with "click this link to register" and because people are vulnerable, they click and fall prey. It is the same social engineering that plays out when you get an SMS that your BVN do XYZ and you need to bring you ATM pin to rectify it (very funny) SOCIAL ENGINEERING GUYS!! Let it stick to your head while you are joining "online courses" this period.

Stay safe! Wash ya hands !

P.S you can google these words too and learn
