NCDC tracking 11,000 COVID-19 contacts nationwide

The NCDC Director-General, Dr Chikwe Ihekweazu, said the agency would not stop contract-tracing, stating that it would continue to pay attention to this vital aspect of the campaign to curb the pandemic.

According to him, about 226 vaccines are in different stages of development, adding that clinical trials carried out so far were encouraging. “So, when you have fewer cases, you can really pay a lot more attention to contact-tracing because your cases are fewer. When you are in somewhere like Lagos where you have over the last few months, 100 to 150 new cases every single day, it becomes a little more difficult to do in-depth contact-tracing for each of them.

According to him, many states had slow down due to fatigue, but Ihekweazu warned that the virus was not slowing down.
