'It's likely to be more' - Oparanozie urges Nigerians to take coronavirus outbreak seriously

Desire Oparanozie has urged Nigerians to adhere to instructions from health authorities to curb the spread of the coronavirus.

The comments of the Super Falcons star comes on the heels of the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic in the country, where 30 people tested positive so far according to local authorities.

The worrying situation has seen the Nigerian government ordered the ban of religious activities, clubbing and social events, with an embargo on the gathering of 20 people in the country on Friday.

Troubled by the reluctance of Nigerian residents to stay at home amid the evolving crisis, the Guingamp striker has urged people to take the crisis seriously to avoid a national disaster.
