The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control is tracing  no fewer than 6,000 people suspected to have had contact with the 111 confirmed cases of coronavirus in the country.

According to Director-General of the agency, Dr Chikwe Ihekweazu,  every time there is a new case, about 50 to 60 contacts are added, which we then have to follow every single day for 14 days.


“These few weeks will help the teams to have access to the contacts living around Lagos and FCT.”

NCDC Director General, stated that the decision to restrict movement in Lagos and Abuja was a tough but necessary one for the President.

He believes the curfew will help Nigeria buy some time to get ahead of COVID-19 and ease the stress on health workers tracing suspected contacts of confirmed cases.
