The Kogi State<\/a> government on Thursday questioned the report of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) that the state had recorded its third COVID-19 case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NCDC on Wednesday night confirmed 348 new COVID-19 cases in 19 parts of the country including Kogi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The state Commissioner for Health, Dr. Saka Haruna, who faulted the centre\u2019s report on his Fecebook page, said the state government was not aware of such a case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said: \u201cThe purported New Case: We are not aware of who the patient is, where and when the test was conducted. No Sample sent from the Kogi government.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The state government had last month rejected the NCDC<\/a> claim on its first two COVID-19 cases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
