The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) says you can
get tested for coronavirus if your area has recorded a confirmed case of the
disease.
In a Twitter post on Tuesday, the agency advised people to
go for testing if they have fever, cough or difficulty breathing.
“Note that you can get tested for COVID-19 if you have fever
or cough or difficulty breathing,” the agency said.
“And have been in contact with someone confirmed with the
virus, or live in an area where confirmed cases have been recorded.
“If you or someone you know fits into any of these
categories, please call your state hotline immediately for information on
testing in your area.”
The Lagos state government had recently announced the
establishment of COVID-19 testing centres across the 20 local government areas
(LGAs) to allow residents to have easy access for testing.
On Monday, NCDC confirmed 38 new COVID-19 cases, bringing
Nigeria’s total to 665. The latest figure shows that 188 patients have
recovered from the disease, with 22 deaths recorded.
