Today, we started the drive/walk-through testing initiative for COVID-19 to test 2,000 people at Adamasingba Stadium, Ibadan. The test kits were donated by the Citizen for Citizen Initiative and the tests are executed by @LifeBankNigeria.

Experts have opined that the best place to start in solving our peculiar problems is by ramping up our testing capabilities. This is why we collaborated with the College of Medicine, University of Ibadan, to set up a diagnostic centre to test for COVID-19 right here in Ibadan.

Indeed, with social distancing through lockdowns proving to be the most effective way of checking community spread, and the fact that people can have COVID-19 and be asymptomatic, large-scale testing will help us determine where and when targeted lockdowns are necessary.

Today, we are implementing one of the actions that is fundamental in deciding what our next steps will be. In the next few days, we will see for ourselves whether a complete lockdown is necessary. We plan to test 10,000 people in the shortest possible time.

Let me use this opportunity to express our gratitude to the Citizen for Citizen Initiative led by Mrs Ibukun Awosika, which donated the 2,000 test kits we will use for the tests. We also thank @LifeBankNigeria which is collaborating with us to conduct the tests.

Ok

The 2000 drive-through test is a project which is different from the existing tests been carried out at the Virology Lab.

The 2000 drive-through is just another strategy aiming to check community spread.
