COVID-19: Akwa Ibom Govt faults NCDC reports, demands immediate reconfirmation test on five reported cases

The Akwa Ibom State Government on Thursday, demanded for a reconfirmation test on the five reported positive test cases of COVID-19 in the state.

He said Akwa Ibom State Government only heard about the test results in the news, adding that neither Governor Udom Emmanuel nor the Director General, NCDC was aware of the reported result announcement. “We observed a disturbing breach in the test and reporting procedure. Every result released in the country has some procedures. But this one did not follow the established process

” Several sample batches have been previously sent for testing from Akwa Ibom State and they all returned negative results.

They said Akwa Ibom people dont believe there is COVID 19 in Nigeria, so it seems their state government have the same mindset, what a shame

Please do they think it is an INEC election results? This is a molecular testing using polymerase chain reaction, a highly sensitive and accurate technique with high degree of precision.

The next step is to proceed to CONVID-19 petition tribunal. Nigeria, I hail thee.

Reconfirming cases already tested may result in wastage of hardly available test kits. The Akwa Ibom Govt can do us all a favour by isolating the affected individuals and monitor them closely for the recommended 14 days, if they don't develop symptoms they go their way

This no be election results nah habah.

That's like inconclusive election abi? I think INEC will need to help here ooo....Nigeria with her different stories sha

It necessary

Very important...
