The team of 15 Chinese medical professionals, who were invited to help Nigeria deal with COVID-19 outbreak, 14-day isolation period ends today.
On April 8, 2020, the 15 Chinese medical professionals had arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
The team flew in with medical equipment worth about $1.5million.
Their invitation by the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19, was met with criticisms from many quarters, including the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA).
Lai Mohammed, Nigeria’s Minister of Information and Culture, was forced to debunk reports that one of the Chinese doctors had tested positive for the COVID-19.
Boss Mustapha, The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) and PTF Chairman, had earlier explained that the Chinese doctors were here in advisory and capacity building roles.
