• FG to use hotels, schools as quarantine, isolation centresKamarudeen Ogundele, Olaleye Aluko and Tobi Aworinde The Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 on Thursday raised the alarm over increasing d

eaths caused by rejection of patients in the country’s hospitals.

Nigeria currently has 8,733 COVID-19 patients and 112 isolation centres in 35 states and the Federal Capital Territory. There are 29 laboratories, where COVID-19 is being tested. “This situation is made worse by the fact that federal tertiary institutions have been mentioned among those rejecting patients for fear of COVID-19. This is not acceptable. We are saddened by this development.

He said that the PTF had not shortlisted three drugs for the treatment of COVID-19 as reported in the media. “It will empower communities to self-mobilise within their interest groups and collectively practise and enforce prevention measures.” “So, I would really encourage everyone, as we begin to plan to go back to work, whether you are an employee and an employer, to really focus on prevention.”According to him, testing one’s workforce with the methods that are available will only show if one has the virus at present.

He also said the Governor of Ekiti State, Dr Kayode Fayemi, and his Jigawa State counterpart, Mohammed Abubakar, requested COVID-19 test laboratories in their states.According to him, the PTF has received demands from companies, which intend to test their entire workforce before people are allowed back into work.

He stated that the immediate target was to have one lab per state, adding however that those following carefully would see some states had much more than one lab. He added, “I think everybody is working very hard to resolve this issue. There’s actually no dilemma in the two cases. They followed normal practice. These were patients that were referred from the Federal Medical Centre to the National Hospital. This is a normal referral pathway when you have a case.”Ihekweazu stated that so far, the NCDC had trained 880 professionals on sample collection, packaging and transport.

The minister noted that there were four levels of COVID-19 patients ranging from those on quarantine with zero or mild symptoms to those that would need to be in intensive care unit.
