Keyamo said this on his Twitter page, on Wednesday morning.

According to him, a deliberate caution to all guidelines from WHO was all Nigerians needed during this emergency situation.
His tweet read: “The panic and paranoia over the virus have become more deadly and infectious than the virus itself!
“What we need is deliberate calmness and extreme caution as we meticulously follow all the guidelines of WHO and NCDC daily.
“Panic always compounds every emergency situation.”
