*There's suspected and confirmed case of Lassa fever in some states across the federation. Let's all take a moment and pray for those that are infected, in isolation and those that are already late. To we that are solidly OK, fit and fine. I pray ya Hayyu ya Kayyum continue to protect us from every disease, May Allah Azzawajal ease all of our worries, May he guide us and light our path. Know that prevention is far more better than curing. Let's all be vigilant cuz health is wealth, Beware of Rotten Tomatoes bcux you don't know which rat fed on it. You can't be following rats to see whether it's multi mammate or has a single breast. Is not easy my dear, be wise hand washing is everything, use salt in washing vegetables and fruits! And also High grade fever, sore throat, bleeding from body Orrifices, vomiting, diarrhoea are some cardinal signs. Report ASAP! May Allah almighty make it easy for us, may he guide us through all our daily endeavors!*
