Why Is NCDC still adding discharged cases to their figures for states? by manchy7531: 12:04am On Apr 23, 2020
Yesterday we where told Anambra state discharged the only patient they had in their isolation facility. How come NCDC still have Anambra on its released figure?

On the 16th of April, Enugu state also discharged the second isolated patient, making Enugu state corona virus free, why is NCDC still including Enugu state in their list, don't they update their record, or is it a case of incompetent people being in charge of their records?

On the 11th, Osun discharged ten patients, six discharged on the 16th and one discharged on the 18th, making a total of seventeen patients discharged. Meanwhile on NCDC's daily update, it still has 20 cases for Osun state..

Lalasticala!!

Please NCDC needs to see this. I have been waiting patiently for them to update their records but seeing Osun, Enugu and Anambra having the same old figures despite releasing their patients calls for concern.

please push this forward, let them see it. i will also tag them on twitter.

That's the total number of cases in every state now, you can remove the discharged patient and you will see they are not wrong.

OP, what makes you think you’re right? Funny how the average Nigerian believes his line of thought is the most correct.

Check the calculations...the figures for each would never go down as discharges are still left in the total. The reason For this is that NCDC’s report is based on total (active + dead + recovered) cases so the numbers for each state would remain the same if the state as not gotten any new cases.

NCDC is not wrong, the number confirmed in each state remains part of the total number of confirmed cases in the country irrespective of whether they have been discharged or are dead.

So there is no misrepresentation on the side of the ncdc.

No, it is wrong to release records based on just total number of cases.. It will be less confusing if they release for active cases and not include those that have been discharge, hence States like Osun, Anambra and Enugu should have 3, 0, and 0 cases respectively.

Go and teach them how to calculate it.

Dont get me wrong. My point is when releasing for states, they should just release for active cases, without including discharged or dead.

Nothing like lying here. They're showing number of cases total and not active cases. Its now left to you to deduct the figures yourself. Though am not in support of how they do it, but we should cut them some slack here. Times ain't easy on them or anyone else.

Bro stop confusing yourself.
NCDC is a team of mature and intelligent persons that are highly educated.

You are just misinformed.

That list you are complaining about is comprehensive list of entire confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the country. And even if you are corona free, your number still counts.

What you need to do is to look for number of active case. i.e
active case=confirm case -discharge case + deaths.
Do the maths
