The Nigeria Center for Disease Control(NCDC) Director General, Dr. Chikwe Ihekweaze, has said Nigeria has not yet reached it peak on corona virus cases, it has yet, some numbers of weeks to go.

The NCDC Director-General disclosed this on Channel television's "Sunrise Daily" program, on Friday April 25, he said, the agency which he head will work holistically to ensured the nation's health system is not overwhelmed by corona virus pandemic.

“From our projection, we are not near the peak yet; we still have a number of weeks to go.

“But we are trying to stretch out these weeks even further so we can push the peak a bit further out but make sure that the peak is not as steep as it would otherwise have been if no measures were put in place.”

He however, described the agency limiting in factor in curtailing the spread of the virus in the country, saying they have no control over the health sector.

“Of course, we are over-stretched … but we will not stop because we really don’t have an option NCDC boss admitted.
"At the moment and from what we know, we will not be able to radically stop in a day or two, or even a few weeks but what we are trying to do is really to stretch out that curve so that the health system can cope with the number of cases coming in.”

Sigh...

The government needs to do more on testing.

It will catastrophic if the indexes explode

I believe we are actually at beginning stages of a bell curve.

More testing, faster isolation. More education in the North.
