• Kano yet to resume testing, NCDC, WHO deploy 17 officersOlufemi Atoyebi, Tobi Aworinde, Dayo Ojerinde, Tukur Muntari and Hindi Livinus The Minister of Health, Dr Osagie Ehanire, has said about 40 h

ealth workers in the country have tested positive for coronavirus.

He said the medical conditions of the three doctors, who had been exposed to COVID-19 cases, were stable. He, however, said they were testing an average of 600 samples per day because the samples had to be collected and sent to the labs. He also explained why Nigeria was not doing mass testing as Ghana and South Africa. Ehanire said, “Our own strategy is to be careful with the reagents by using smart testing. It means testing only in the areas where we can get the yield. Some other countries do blanket testing where you can just drive in and give your sample. Some later learnt that the yield was too small and that they were wasting cartridges.

On the reports of multiple deaths in Kano State and increase in the number of cases in the state, Ihekweazu said efforts were being made to verify all the claims. He said, “On the issue of the NLC writing against extension of the lockdown, the PTF takes its responsibilities seriously. We know that we are in a challenging time and how difficult it is for people to stay at home.

The union also said, “While we understand the public health imperatives for extending the lockdown in some parts of the country, it is also very important to underscore the fact that the states currently under total lockdown are the economic and administrative nerve centres of Nigeria. The Coordinator of the state Task Force on COVID-19, Dr Tijjani Hussaini, disclosed this in an interview withHe said there were 426 suspected cases of COVID-19 in the state, while 266 people who had contact with the suspected cases were being followed.

This is is not good mr. Minister. They mustn't die..nothing must happen to them..

B 4. If the Chinese doctors are agents of Bill Gates, the fastest way they can spread it is to infect the health workers and WHO staff in Nigeria. 5. Federal government must investigate it

A 1. Were the frontline health workers provided with personal protective equipment? 2. Was it that they failed to use the PPE? 3. Have they had contact with the Chinese doctors.

NigeriaGov was boasting about a month ago of their preparedness to combat COVID__19. How come that they have been taking samples to SouthAfrica?
