Nigeria has documented a new coronavirus case in the commercial capital Lagos. The state government confirmed the third case of coronavirus (COVID-19) which involves a Nigerian woman who arrived from the United Kingdom last Friday.
Mr Akin Abayomi, the state's commissioner of health disclosed the finding at a press conference, on Tuesday. The National Center for Disease Control said the patient developed symptoms during her 14-day self-isolation
“She is clinically stable & is being treated at Infectious Disease Hospital, Lagos,” the NCDC quoted the Minister as saying. The new case is presently the only case because the first two patients had fully recovered and been discharged.
The first case was an Italian who flew into Lagos on a Turkish Airline flight and the second patient was connected to the first patient.
Nigeria has been on high alert since the first case. Lagos state government and ministry of health along with the disease control department, have been giving regular updates on developments.
