This he said should be done in order to avoid the exaggeration of figures from State Governments across the nation.

“The test for #COVID19 should be decentralized but the disclosure or announcement should be centralized by the @NCDCgov; or else we shall be showered with bogus or exaggerated figures from the states. This is not a national league table.”
