The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control said on Saturday that five travellers from China tested negative to Coronavirus also known as COVID19.
reported that the NCDC Director-General, Dr Chikwe Ihekweazu, said on Friday the centre had “two cases and tests are going on at the moment. As soon as they are completed, it will be announced. If a person returns to the country, say within 20 or 30 days, there is no point wasting reagents to test such a person.
On Saturday, the NCDC announced the results of the tests, saying five travellers have been examined and they tested negative to Coronavirus.
