Nigeria At The Risk Of Another Covid-19 Explosion – NCDC

Nigeria is likely to experience a resurgence of the Covid-19 pandemic, NCDC has said.

CityNews Nigeria reports that the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) has warned against another COVID-19 explosion in the country.

The agency said its submission is based on the deliberate refusal by some states to carry out adequate testing.

NCDC’s Director-General, Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu, stated this while appearing on Arise TV.

Ihekweazu noted that some states were unable to ascertain the number of COVID-19 cases in their domain.

He, however, expressed delight that NCDC can establish that fewer cases were being reported than it was in the last six months, adding that he was especially impressed about the progress made in a few states, especially Lagos.

The NCDC boss, however, said many states are not learning from others and so are not testing enough and not finding enough.
