The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), says its primary strategy is to work with affected states in the identification of cases of Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic outbreak in the country. Dr Chikwe Ihekweazu, Director General, NCDC, said this at the Presidential Taskforce (PTF) briefing on COVID-19 in the country, on Wednesday in Abuja.
Ihekweazu said that working with affected states on contacts tracing would be prompt for isolation and treatment as required of Nigerians affected by the virus. “We are utilising a SORMAS open software for real-time collection and analysis of data on COVID-19,” he said. The NCDC DG noted that while the restrictions put physical distance between Nigerians, they should still remain socially connected to each other.
