Kayode Fayemi, has given details on how a pregnant health worker based in Lagos, and infected with coronavirus “sneaked” into the state.
The case became the third in the state after its index case in March through a driver who apparently contracted it from a visiting American tourist.
Mr Fayemi said the new COVID-19 confirmed case, a pregnant 29-year-old community health worker in Lagos State, was first admitted at a state comprehensive primary healthcare facility in active labour from where she moved to a private hospital in Ekiti State.“This new case is a pregnant 29-year-old female Community Health Worker with Lagos State who sneaked into Ekiti State in spite of the lockdown.
“The baby is alive and under surveillance while the private clinic has been sealed off and medical personnel who interacted with this case during her obstetrics and gynecology emergency have been contacted and put in self isolation. Mr Fayemi said the development had further given credence to the emphasis on protecting Ekiti State from an outbreak of the pandemic by a total lockdown on movement.PREMIUM TIMES
