“We have received a lot of cooperation; two visits already from the Ambassador of China to Nigeria to reassure us of his commitment and to give us support in any way.
“They sent us a treatment protocol because they have successfully treated over 5,000 people in their country,” the Minister had said at the Federal Ministry of Health, Abuja.
The Minister of State for Health, Olorunnimbe Mamora, and top officials of the ministry were present at the media briefing where Ehanire spoke on measures being put in place to contain the spread of the disease.
