Coronavirus ncdc boss chike ihekweazu in self isolation after china trip

According to reports, Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu, the Director-General of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), has gone into self-isolation after returning from a trip to China.

Dr. Ihekweazu had traveled to China for a meeting with the Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CCDC) to discuss collaboration on COVID-19 response and research. However, upon his return to Nigeria, he decided to self-isolate as a precautionary measure to ensure he does not pose any risk to others.

This decision was taken in line with the NCDC's guidelines for travelers returning from high-risk countries, which include China. The NCDC has also advised all travelers returning from China to self-isolate for 14 days as a precautionary measure.

Dr. Ihekweazu's self-isolation is seen as a responsible and precautionary measure to prevent the spread of the virus, and it is expected that he will continue to work remotely during this period.

It's worth noting that Nigeria has not reported any cases of COVID-19 linked to Dr. Ihekweazu's trip to China, and the NCDC is continuing to monitor the situation closely.
