The coronavirus pandemic is getting more real as every second goes by seeing as people are starting to realise that they are not invisible and that they can also contract the virus.

Nigerians were initially relaxed about the coronavirus pandemic but all that has changed now that people have seen that even influential people as well as politicians have tested positive for the virus.

Just recently, reports made the rounds that a popular Nigerian celebrity who attended the Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards (AMVCA), might have contracted the disease.

Well, the Lagos state commissioner of health, Prof. Akin Abayomi, has alerted the public that people who attended the event should self-isolate because an attendee has already tested positive.
