Fatoumata Njei, Contributing WriterNew York – Over the weekend the New York State Senate and the African Immigrant Commission (AIC) of New York and Connecticut honoured infectious disease scientist, Dr. Dougbeh Chris Nyan, and several healthcare workers in recognition of their outstanding services during the COVID-19 pandemic. New York was hard hit during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and became the epicenter of the pandemic in the United States. Other healthcare workers honoured were Dr. Alseny Balde and Dr. Nana Keita from Guinea, and Dr. Issa Turay from Sierra Leone. On behalf of the honourees, Dr. Nyan thanked the State of New York for the recognition and honour and the African Immigrant Commission for highlighting the contributions of African Immigrants to healthcare in the United States and the world. The Nyan-Test can detect about 3-7 infectious and simultaneously identify them in less than an hour.
