Last week in Lagos, a septuagenarian tested positive for COVID-19. She got the virus in a strange way.

Although this woman and her family had strictly obeyed a leg of the lockdown by staying indoors, they let in a visitor, a healthcare worker.

Days into the visit, the healthcare worker was identified as someone who’d come in contact with a now-confirmed COVID-19 patient.

Tests were done. The HCW and the woman tested +ve; thankfully, everyone else was -ve.

Lesson: Obeying this lockdown is a two-way street.

If you stay indoors but you let in visitors, there’s a fair chance you’ve lowered the immunity provided by the weeks you’ve spent indoors.
