Over the past five weeks, beginning in May, Nigeria’s
recovery rate has been on the high side, rising to as high as 167 in one day on
May 23.
This is a significant improvement from April 30, when less
than 400 recoveries were recorded.
According to Chikwe Ihekweazu, director-general of the NCDC,
a major percentage of patients are asymptomatic, and such persons are usually
considered safe to be discharged from isolation centres 14 days after testing
positive.
He disclosed this at the presidential task force (PTF) on
COVID-19 briefing in Abuja on Thursday.
