UPDATE: Experts knock NCDC over COVID-19 Tests and Slow Response in Nigeria, reveal danger
With a rapidly growing number of confirmed COVID-19 cases across the country, experts have expressed concern over what they described as slow pace of laboratory testing, and response by the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control, NCDC.
Since the onset of the recent pandemic outbreak, some Nigerians have taken to social media to complain about not being able to get tested by the NCDC after several calls to the designated emergency numbers provided by the centre.
Among those concerned about the low testing rate in the country is the Nigerian Medical Association, NMA.
There have been allegations of cases degenerating into complications before the agency’s team shows up.
