The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has reacted to the confirmation of coronavirus in Nigeria.

The General Secretary, Joseph Daramola, who spoke on Friday stated that the country would overcome the virus just as it did during the case of Ebola.

Appealing against panicking, Daramola advised churches to makes soap and sanitizers available for their members.

“The God who answered our prayers when the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD), which is deadlier, came calling is still on the throne and that same God will also grant us victory over the COVID-19 in Jesus Name,” he said in a statement.

“They should also follow these professional counsels: Avoid panicking. Regular washing of hands with water, soap and sanitizers (where available). Avoid crowded places and people who are coughing or sneezing. Covering of mouths and noses with a handkerchief or tissue while sneezing or coughing and Avoid self-medication.”

He also advised politicians against politicizing the situation but come together to battle it.
