Nigeria yesterday, recorded 553 new cases of covid19, within 24 hours, the highest since February 27, 2020, when the country recorded it very first index case, an Italian man who was working in Lagos.

Italy is one of the countries to have the heights number of deaths related to corona virus, since the outbreak of the pandemic.

Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, has said he was not aware of the bad state of the nation’s health sector until he became the chairman of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, on April 20, 2020.

Nigeria with poor health care facilities, where health workers in the front line of covid19 fight have been complaining about poor medical equipment which include, inadequate Personal Protective Equipment(PPE), no life insurance, late and low payment of allowance to mention just a few.

According to NANNM statistics, over 200,000 health workers, especially doctors and nurses have been exposed to corona virus, about 70 nurses have been infected with the virus while about 200 are in isolation. In total, about 8 doctors and 6 nurses have died of the from corona virus disease.

Nigeria, according to Nigeria Center for Disease Control(NCDC), has a total number of 9855 confirmed case of covid19 with 2856 discharged and 273 deaths so far.

Italy with one of the best health care facilities in the world, with more test daily used to record more than 553 index cases within 24 hours and as at the time when the number of confirmed cases was nearly 10,000 as in the case of Nigeria, recorded more than 273 deaths related to corona virus disease.

In the normal sense can we then says Nigeria is more competent in handling corona virus pandemic than Italy or the number which as at yesterday May 30, near 10,000 an not be justified?
