The Nigerian Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) has warned against another COVID-19 explosion in the country, following deliberate refusal by some states to carry out adequate testing.
NCDC’s Director-General, Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu, made this known while exchanging views with journalists, noting 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, stating that he was especially impressed about the progress made in a few states, especially Lagos.
The NCDC boss expressed dismay that many states are not learning from others and are not conducting enough testing, so, might not be defecting enough those who have it.
Dr Ihekweazu lamented also expressed worried that this might lead to an explosion in those states, which would then affect the rest of the country again.
