Recall that the United Kingdom (UK) and South Africa are known to have new strains of the Coronavirus that are similar and believed to be more contagious as the second wave of the virus is spreading fast. The Director-General of the NCDC, Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu, said on Thursday at the Presidential Task Force (PTF) briefing, that sequencing in Nigeria did not find the variant said to be deadlier than the original strain of the virus.
NCDC has, however, asked for more time to conduct more samples as "its still too early" for totally ruling it out.
