Remember, there is NO specific cure for #COVID19. Some trial drugs show promising results but are yet to be validated for use.

In Nigeria, use of hydroxychloroquine is ONLY limited to clinical trials.

Please #TakeResponsibility and avoid self-medication.
#COVID19 spreads easily from person to person.
