Nigeria records drastic decline in COVID-19 infection, increase in recoveries without vaccines

Nigeria has continued to record improved statistics of COVID-19 control and elimination. The country in the past few weeks has been recording decline in coronavirus infection in the country and a corresponding high rate of recoveries without the use of vaccines.

Nigeria had at the dreaded period of coronavirus spread across the world, succeeded in handling coronavirus patients, who within two weeks of being declared to have tested positive, are taken care of at the isolation centres to later test negative within the period of isolation.

More so, Nigeria has not recorded any death from the coronavirus infection in the month of March 2021.

While the Nigerian government, claimed  that a total number of 161,737 persons have been infested by coronavirus, some of whom were, however, detected to be suffering from normal fever, 147,899 persons have been successfully treated and discharged, indicating that over 91.4% of the claimed total infection cases recovered.

The recoveries were achieved at a time the World Health Organisation (WHO) was deepening global fear with the claim that no vaccine had been discovered for the cure of the virus. The cures were achieved with products collected from the country’s health system before the global declaration of vaccine discovery.

The National Centere for Disease Control (NCDC) had in its update, said that only 86 new cases of coronavirus infections were reported in the country last Sunday, the lowest record in the past months.

Apparently, Nigeria is at the verge of getting out of the pandemic, even with the roll out of the controversial vaccine.
