The Nigeria Center for Disease Control (NCDC) says it is “struggling” for bed spaces to treat COVID-19 patients in Lagos state.

Lagos is currently the epic-centre of coronavirus in Nigeria — having the highest number of persons infected with the disease.

Chikwe Ihekweazu, director-general of NCDC, said this while briefing the presidential task force on COVID-19 on Thursday.
