Thank God..cos we lack hygiene in d north especially d northwestern part...This would have been unimaginable

Thank God o

That is awesome 👏

They should just keep the patient in dat hospital for more tests... I don't trust Nigeria hospitals. People dat can't get correct results for blood genotype test will now get results for corona....

What exactly do they use in testing this people positive, then later it changes to negative?

Alhamdulillah

Ope o

I'm beginning to wonder if it's only in Nigeria that all suspected cases of Coronvirus turns negative. I hope they are actually running the right test? 🤔🤔

The virus couldn't stand the heat. God please protect us, because you are our only hope now

I said it. It is just a plan to get funds. Katsina has no international port of entry. Every suspected case comes in from Lagos and passengers are tightly screened. Did the Malaysian come into Katsina from the forest?

Hallelujah

Thank God
