The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) has reviewed its testing strategy for COVID-19 regarding the management of confirmed cases.
Before getting discharged, NCDC initially required that patients must test negative at least twice for their health status to be confirmed.
Speaking at the briefing of the presidential task force on COVID-19, Chikwe Ihekweazu, director-general of the NCDC, said efforts are being made to change strategy in order not to allow inadequate bed spaces to affect the fight against the coronavirus.
He also said no state in the country has enough bed space to admit COVID-19 cases.
