As we respond to #COVID19 in Nigeria, we are also contributing to research, that will be used for evidence based public health response

Yesterday, NCDC held a workshop supported by the Africa Field Epidemiology Network (AFENET, Nigeria Country Office) and the US-CDC in Nigeria for a prospective study on the First Few X (FFX) cases in Nigeria.

This World Malaria Day, we are reminded that the disease is a major public health challenge in countries, including Nigeria, that are also responding to #COVID19.

Today, we emphasise the importance of protecting yourself from MALARIA.

#ZeroMalariaStartsWithMe

We are proud to announce the inclusion of 2 new molecular labs into the laboratory network for #COVID19 at:

1. Usman Danfodio University Teaching Hospital, Sokoto.

This brings the number of labs with the capacity to test for #COVID19 to 15.

It is important to note that bleach and other disinfectants should be used to clean surfaces. They should NOT be consumed by people to treat #COVID19.

Drinking bleach & disinfectants can lead to health complications & even death.
