The agency said that till date, 55,829 cases have been confirmed, 43,810 cases discharged and 1,075 deaths recorded in 36 states and FCT.

Meanwhile, the health agency said that it had received complaints from passengers departing Nigeria, that airlines were rejecting COVID-19 negative results from some accredited private laboratories.

“This should not be the case. We are working with other Ministries and Agencies through the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 to address the challenges faced by travellers using the Nigeria International Travel Portal.

“We have also provided a document to answer Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for travellers.

“The document is available on the NCDC website (www.covid19.ncdc.gov.ng) and will provide further information for travellers,” NCDC said.
