Hospitals won’t be able to handle serious Covid-19 cases soon — NCDC

The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) says the country is now reaching a critical level in the fight against Covid-19 as hospital capacity will no longer be able to cope with more serious COVID-19 cases.

According to the Director-General of the NCDC, Dr Chikwe Ihekweazu, in a series of tweets noted that the number of coronavirus cases reported in the country has been on the rise in the last four weeks.

He wrote;

“We are reaching a critical level where our hospital capacity will no longer be able to cope with more serious COVID-19 cases and health workers will be forced to make tough decisions. We need to protect our more vulnerable citizens.

“We all have to take responsibility. This is not for the NCDC, the PTF or government alone. By organising large gatherings indoors, you’re not only putting yourself and guests at risk but also the staff who have limited choice but to serve. By going to clubs, you’re putting your parents at risk.

“In the last four weeks, we‘ve recorded a spike in the number of new COVID-19 cases. The virus is spreading fast, causing mild symptoms in some and severe illness/death in others.

“Most important of all, the 100,000 cases and over 1,000 deaths are not just numbers. These are fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, children, friends whose deaths will be mourned and the pain of their loss deeply felt. The response starts and ends with the people of this country,” he said.
