Medical experts fault reopening of schools, worship centres

medical experts have faulted the reopening of the institutions without COVID-19 testing and contact tracing.

Ujah, who is also the Vice Chancellor of Federal University of Health Sciences, Otukpo, Benue State, added: “Once they are well prepared to prevent further spread and manage the consequences, NMA will readily go along with the government policy on the reopening of these places. All NMA can do in this case, is to advocate and caution since we are the custodians of health of Nigerians.

“Remember testing in states like Kogi and Cross River cannot be considered adequate. We also hear of states that have quietly placed an ‘embargo’ on testing.” This means our laboratory results must come out quicker than it is now, so we know the positive cases and isolate them timely to reduce the period they have to transmit to others.”
