Chinese food and coronavirus

Published by

I love eating Chinese food at some Chinese restaurants located in my neighbourhood. Now with the news of the deadly disease called Coronavirus, I want to know if I should still be visiting these restaurants.  Please help me as I can’t do without eating Chinese food every week.

Although as of January 28 2020, 4,593 cases and 106 deaths of the novel Coronavirus have been reported to WHO from 15 countries, there is no confirmed case on the African continent. In addition, the Port Health Services of the Federal Ministry of Health has heightened screening measures at points of entry for travellers from China especially, Chinese nationals who went home recently to celebrate their traditional Lunar  New Year holiday. With the above, you have no cause to panic about visiting your favourite Chinese Restaurants.
