The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, NCDC says it is a false report from the media stating that the Director-General, Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu is in “quarantine over coronavirus”. This is false.

The statement was released on the official Twitter handle of the agency.

Between the 16th and 24th of February 2020, the World Health Organisation, WHO deployed a high-level mission to China. The joint mission had 25 national and international experts, including the NCDC Director-General, Dr Chikwe Ihekweazu.

The Mission met with counterparts in China to understand their response to the Coronavirus outbreak and how the global community can learn from their experience.

As recommended in NCDC’s public health advisory, travelers from countries with ongoing transmission of Coronavirus are advised to proceed on 14-day self-isolation, whether well or unwell.

The Director-General has adhered to this, to protect himself and the public. He has been tested since his return, and has shown no symptoms of Coronavirus infection. He remains in good health.

The statement says that the Minister of Health is very proud of Dr. Ihekweazu’s contribution, which reflects the high-level recognition and respect the global health community has for Nigeria.
