The Presidential Task Force on Coronavirus has explained the surge in the number of Coronavirus cases recorded in Nigeria.
Boss Mustapha, Chairman of the Task Force and Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, explained that the surge in cases was due to the expansion of the testing capacities and activities.
Speaking during the Task Force daily briefing in Abuja yesterday, Mustapha said there were evidence of community spread.
He stated that government had introduced the door-to-door testing in some communities in Lagos and Abuja.
According to Mustapha: “Considering the dynamic nature of the response plan, the strategy for testing has been modified and door-to-door testing is now taking place in some communities in Lagos and Abuja.
“Testing, detection, isolation, care and case management remain central to our success in this fight.”
