This is what Nigeria should be building but they were busy building churches and mosques.

Today they have closed all churches and mosques.

Two!

Seriously, I wonder how many tests they can conduct per day. If it’s a high figure this could be significant.

so you mean a country with over 200 million people only have few testing kit? may God punish these leaders . make this coronavirus kill all of them . amen

okpalaAnambra:
Labs are being opened up to important places, After Oyo and Ebonyi, next is Abia because humans who live there matter more and need to be taking care of, not our erosion ravaged enclave of Anambra, infact people dying in Anambra won't be worth and so we're all worthless in Anambra and should perish because we have no worth

sapientia:
6 all over Nigeria?

Can they please stop posting that figure they said they have confirmed.

Nigeria do not know the number of people positive since there are no test centres.

Please, all these kits of 10 mins and 5 mins being discovered, can't our FG be negotiating aggressively that test run of the kits be done in Nigeria.

Since Buhari have absconded from duty, one of the 36 Presidents we have now can still do it.

God forbid the wave of death starts now, its over.

All those billions donated, what are they using it for?

Though Nigerians need food now, priority and undivided focus should be channelled massive testing of Nigerians.

osydennyz:
Just imagine.... With a population of over 200 million people.....it will not be well with those government officials (past & present) feeding on allocations meant for our health sector........

These are laboratories...
They are NOT test centers.

PEOPLE CAN BE TESTED ANYWHERE...
And the tests sent to these 7 (not 2) labs for analysis.

PS: Of course more labs will make processing quicker.

Not enough in any way.

The Federal and States Ministry of health need to show more proactive measures. We need more testing sites to match the possible spread and need to have a clear treatment plan.

This is not a testing centre but isolation centre

Re: COVID-19: Nigeria Adds Two Laboratories For Tests by blowjohn(m): 10:45am On Mar 29, 2020

One is still being set up so why announce it as if it's ready for operations?
What is wrong with this country sef?

Re: COVID-19: Nigeria Adds Two Laboratories For Tests by TheGoodJoe(m): 10:46am On Mar 29, 2020

Why is Rivers State always left out? Why? We need in Rivers State. WHO identified Rivers State as one of the high risk areas.

Re: COVID-19: Nigeria Adds Two Laboratories For Tests by Efizzi: 10:46am On Mar 29, 2020

I expect atleast a Testing and treatment center in the entire 36 states in Nigeria. Locking down states will not totally solve the problem. We need testing and treatment centers nationwide

Are you minding them? I thought the Federal government has released billions to them. We need loads of testing centres.

And in another news Americans are entering Mexico illegally due to the corona virus crisis which their government can't find solution to. Some mumu 5% are still waiting for Bubu who they claimed he's in Cuba to come and address them.

Churches and mosques are refuge for those who need God. If you have no need for him that's your business but you shouldn't interfere with people's choices. Government doesn't build religious houses, individuals do. You're not even knowledgeable

Where are the Lab Scientists and microbiologists that will work in these labs, when the Nigerian system has frustrated them to become Wig sellers and fashion designers?

always learn to appreciate your leader, moreover they didn't say they stopping from there. With your prayers and support we can get more than 37 so that every state will have theirs.
Thanks to the government

And foolish people still call themselves 'Buharist" and PDP members?
You actually deserve everything and more
16 years of PDP + 8 years of APC and we won't even be close to having electricity.

You would still be struggling in stupid hospitals and you still continue to play their game

MrDebonair:
I have suggested to the health minister on why there should be testing and isolation centres in each states. As at today all testing centres are located majorly in South west and Abuja. What happens to South east and the Northern regions?

Off what benefit is it to saving lives when isolation centres have only beds with no ventilators. Average time frame for patients on ventilator to recovery is 9 days. What is the Federal Govt doing to acquire more ventilators?

Nigeria still has time to suppress the spread and prepare for cases but the time is being wasted.

awa:
Why can't this test Centre be in every state capital at least? The Govt is too slow about this

These are Labs, NOT testing centers...
You can be tested ANYWHERE, and the sample sent to the Labs.

Meanwhile, there are treatment and isolation centers in all 36 states plus Abuja...
Sadly, we have considerable experience with infectious diseases (Lassa Fever, Meningitis, etc.).

That said, virtually EVERY nation has struggled with COVID-19...
The rapid rate of infection has floored most, and EVERYONE is making it up as they go along.

We need a lab in Rivers State. The population of Port Harcourt is numerous and we were identified as one of the State with a high risk possibility by WHO.

Some Private medical laboratories should be called in and funded to increase the number of tests done per day. The percentage of positive tests per test pools scares me.
25% of all tests conducted in Nigeria are positive, while in UK it is below 15%.

This is really scary.

Capable private laboratory should be called in and funded to either become Covid testing centers or sample collection centers.

The Medical Laboratory Scientists should be life insured and paid handsomely. Private labs who decide to volunteer their facilities as collection centers should be paid a sensible grant/aid.

These are perilous times.
