The Minister of State for Health, Dr. Adeleke Mamora, said on Friday the results of the coronavirus tests carried out on the Chinese medical team currently in the country were not ready.

Mamora disclosed this during the daily briefing of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 in Abuja.

The members of the Chinese medical team completed their mandatory 14-day quarantine on Wednesday.

He said: “For one reason or the other, we do not have the test results of the Chinese yet. I want to assure you that once we have the result of the tests, we will inform the country about the development.
