There are fears that the numbers may continue to rise astronomically given the population of the country and the low testing capacity of the NCDC.
Meanwhile, as part of measures to help combat the dreaded disease, the Catholic Church in Nigeria through the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria has offered its 425 hospitals and clinics nationwide for the treatment of COVID-19 patients.
This was disclosed by Boss Mustapha, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, during the daily Presidential Taskforce (PTF) on COVID-19 media briefing on Monday, May 11.
