In a comment posted by the Journo on his twitter handle, said

If you lack PPEs or if there’s something untoward happening in your institution and officials are covering up, don’t keep quiet else you may fall victim to it. Remember the doctor in China who was made to shut up about COVID-19, but finally died of the virus?

The statement required health workers to desist from engaging the media in conversations and discussions on COVID-19 other than education.
