COVID-19: Nigeria may use chools, hotels as isolation centres – Minister

The Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire, made this known at the daily Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 briefing on Thursday.

“In event of overflow, we can require hotels and school dormitories to be prepared for level 1 and level 2 Isolation .Nigeria is currently using selected hotels in Lagos and Abuja as isolation centres for Nigerians evacuated from other countries because of the COVID-19. However, even that policy is being jettisoned as the task force has said such evacuations have been suspended and when they resume, the returnees would be expected to self-isolate.

The Director-General of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control , Chikwe Ihekweazu, had earlier said the country lacks adequate bed spaces to accommodate COVID-19 patients in isolation centres across states.He said the country was considering home-care treatment for COVID-19 patients. As of May 27, a total of 8,733 COVID-19 cases have been confirmed in Nigeria. Although 2,501 persons have been successfully treated and discharged,254 deaths have been recorded.Mr Ehanire said there is an urgent need to increase bed capacity to match the number of COVID-19 cases in the country.
