Abstract

Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has become a monster in various countries with developed technologies and those with little or no technology in medical diagnostics, Nigeria as an example. The quest to curb the pandemic is paramount and the inclusion of medical laboratory components is germane toward bringing COVID-19 to a halt. It is therefore imperative to expand the medical diagnostic sites in Nigeria to ensure wide spread testing and management of COVID-19.
