It will have been a smarter move if one was cited in Kano or Adamawa to serve these zones.

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.

Isolation Centers are NOT ICUs...

The overwhelming majority of confirmed COVID-19 cases thus far (about 80% or more) will only suffer mild symptoms or even be totally asymptomatic, and will not need intensive medical care nor ventilators. However, they must be isolated for at least 14 days (or until they test negative twice) so that they do not continue to infect others in the community. This is what these Isolation Centers are meant to address. Their existence increases the capacity of the public health authorities to isolate (quarantine) all confirmed cases while reserving ICU bed spaces and ventilators for the critical or extreme cases. Every bit helps. Kudos to GTBank and all others contributing to this effort.

Apparently more are in the way...
Molecular labs are not that easy to set up.
