The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control has said not every state requires a molecular laboratory to test for coronavirus.
The PUNCH,
The NCDC spokesman said, “Inasmuch as we are trying to increase our testing capacity, the idea is not that, at the moment, every state must have a testing lab for coronavirus in the interim. “It was because some states already had a laboratory diagnostic infrastructure that the labs you see were easily repurposed for coronavirus testing. If those labs were not in existence, we would be talking about starting from scratch.”Oguanuo stated that the long-term plan was to have the requisite infrastructure in each state, “which is why we urge states to ensure they have a lab for this.”
