Lawmakers said NCDC needs more fund to acquire 'the latest and most recent equipment that there is for research and diagnosis of tropical diseases.'
The funds, the lawmakers said, will be used to acquire “the latest and most recent equipment that there is for research and diagnosis of tropical diseases disrupting human existence as prevention is always better and cheaper than cure”.Coronavirus is a type of common virus that infects humans and seven different types of the virus have been identified to be spread through the air by coughing, sneezing, personal contact, touching an object or surface contaminated with the virus.
The disease has also been exported to about 15 countries and there are uncertainties as to how many countries would be reporting confirmed cases of the disease any time soon. The call comes barely 24 hours after the federal government advised Nigerians and non-Nigerians planning to travel to China to suspend their trips, if possible, until further notice.
This, he said, they have done in a bid to contain coronavirus while collaborating with the federal government travel advisory.
