This coming after the first case of the deadly Coronavirus was confirmed in Lagos, Southwest Nigeria, by the State Government early Friday morning.
The virus was brought in by an Italian citizen who entered Nigeria on the 25th of February from Milan, Italy for a brief business visit.
According to the Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi, in a statement, he said the said man fell ill on the 26th February and was transferred to Lagos State Biosecurity Facilities for isolation and testing. COVID-19 infection was confirmed by the Virology Laboratory of the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, part of the Laboratory Network of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control. The patient is clinically stable, with no serious symptoms, and is being managed at the Infectious Disease Hospital in Yaba, Lagos.
