NIGERIA ON LOOKOUT OF DEADLY CHINESE FLU – MINISTER

The Minister of Health, Dr Osagie Ehanire, disclosed that though the World Health Organisation and other world health bodies have not informed Nigeria of any deadly flu from China, the Federal Government is on the lookout for any occurrence.

He made this statement this on Monday in Abuja, during a ministerial bi-weekly meeting on the update of COVID-19 response and development in the country’s health sector.

According to him, when there is an outbreak of any flu or disease anywhere in the world, WHO will announce it to the world and send an advisory on how it can be handled, but there is no such alert in the case of the strange flu
