Nigeria’s confirmed COVID-19 cases, since the first record on February 27, are 288, including 51 recoveries and seven fatalities, as of April 9. There are optimistic views that COVID-19 is not yet a community disease in Nigeria and theSome, on the other hand, believe limited testing capacity may be covering Nigeria’s true reality and that the virus may be spreading at the community level with much more cases existing without detection.
PT: How easy or hard does it become to track the thousands of suspected cases? How many persons have Nigeria tested as of this moment?: Till date, we have tested nearly 4,000 people for COVID-19.

PT: Both by the speed of spread and fatality rate, Nigeria comes better than most countries, including the advanced economies of the Global North. Do you want to say we have a better response? What’s responsible for our performance?: It is too early to conclude that our response is better than that of most countries. We are still learning and continue to do so on a daily basis. Ultimately, our aim is to protect the health of Nigerians and we remain committed to this mandate.
In the absence of a vaccine for this disease, we have to depend on non-pharmaceutical interventions such as closure of large gatherings and cessation of movements. There is a strong chance that if these interventions are properly implemented and adhered to, we can flatten the curve and control this outbreak. By limiting movements, we are reducing the possibility of spread of the virus causing COVID-19, which is highly transmissible.
