COVID-19: NCDC Releases Guidelines On Getting Tested For Corona Virus by News0002(op): 4:05pm On Mar 30, 2020
The Nigerian Center For Disease Control (NCDC) in a tweet monitored by News9naija released details for testing eligibility and how to get tested.

Below are the steps listed

We've updated national case definitons for #COVID19
Who can be tested?

1. Returning travellers with fever, cough or difficulty breathing

2. Contacts of confirmed cases with these symptoms

3. Those with fever & respiratory symptoms in areas of moderate-high prevalence

How to get tested:

1. Please contact your STATE or NCDC through the listed communication channels

2. Provide relevant details including symptoms and travel history if any

3. Stay at home and wait for further advice

Where you will be tested:

There are 6 labs currently accredited for #COVID19 testing in Nigeria. This is being expanded

NCDC will work with your state to transport the sample from point of collection to the nearest lab

Alternative measures will be taken as necessary

Can I test myself?

NO. Remember, there is no validated rapid diagnostic test kit for #COVID19

These rapid test kits can provide false results. DO NOT USE

Thank God we have not reached upto 2000 cases like South Africa and co. Indeed God loves this country

Anyway, You need a Logo on your WhatsApp or Instagram DP to keep your Business alive. And I can help you with one for a little token. Your Quarantine shouldn't be the end of your life.

God loves other countries as much as He loves this country. Please you people should stop saying things that would make atheists see it fit to take a swipe at religion.

By the way, South Africa hasn't recorded up to 2000 cases, and no other African country has. smiley

Oga God has handed the earth to the sons of men. It is none of his Business what happens to you, except you asked of his help.

Doesn't matter the colour of your skin or your race. Speak of yourself. He deals with realities, not your emotions
