Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) says it has launched a #COVID19NigeriaStories blog to document Nigerias response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
The Director General of the centre, Dr Chikwe Ihekweazu, made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Saturday in Abuja.
He advised Nigerians to log on to covid19blog.ncdc.gov.ng to read about the people behind the response.
Ihekweazu added that as Nigeria continued to respond to the novel Coronavirus pandemic, it was important to document the process and inform the public.
He said: we cannot handle future public health emergencies without applying lessons learnt from the current pandemic.
This is why documenting #COVID19NigeriaStories is important.
According to him, many sectors have worked with great coordination to develop and implement Nigerias COVID-19 response.
The NCDC boss, who explained that the #COVID-19NigeriaStories explores different state level responses to COVID-19, added that it is interesting to learn how different states are responding toward tackling the pandemic.
Ihekweazu noted that the blog documentation projectwas being handled by Nigeria Health Watch, with support from Ford Foundation. (NAN)
