Similarly, Nigerians have challenged Nigeria Centre for Disease Control for just announcing positive results without showing the infected patients like other countries.
Meanwhile, NCDC has responded by revealing why Covid-19 patients are not shown on the tv screen or in print for Nigerians to see. NCDC has found it unethical and unprofessional to reveal Covid-19 patients to Nigerians as requested.
