The Lagos State Government has deployed a verification platform to validate the authenticity of COVID-19 PCR tests done within the Private Laboratory Consortium and all State Public laboratories for outbound flights.
In a statement, the Commissioner for Health, Prof Akin Abayomi, said the platform can be accessed through an App and the use of a USSD option, which is available on all networks in Nigeria, and abroad as long as the mobile line is on a Nigerian Telecommunications Network.
“It can be accessed by dialing *35131*19# on the 9mobile network and *55500*19# on all other networks and following the onscreen prompts to verify results.
