Lai Mohammed who disclosed this at the daily press briefing of the presidential task force on COVID-19 on Monday, May 4, said the Chinese medical team is helping the country in capacity building.

The Minister also reiterated earlier comments of the Chinese patients not having access to Nigerian patients.

“The Chinese are doing well, they all tested negative for coronavirus. As to what they are doing right now, they are busy working at our isolation centres, putting together and setting up their equipment they brought.
