The NCDC has clarified its role in combatting disease outbreaks in Nigeria in response to Raymond Dokpesi Jnr’s statement about not receiving his COVID-19 test result. The agency stated that it coordinates the communication of results between testing laboratories and states, which are then responsible for relaying the information to individuals. Here’s a tweet from the NCDC:
“It is important to emphasise that the NCDC does not provide results to individuals. Our role as the national public health institute is to coordinate the communication of results between testing laboratories and States, who then communicate with individuals.”
