Italian Patient Recovering from Coronavirus, Says Lagos Govt
The Lagos State government has said the Italian patient who tested positive to Coronavirus last week was recovering from the disease.
He said: “We test the Italian patient every day to ascertain whether the virus is still in him or not. This gives us the indication whether he is still contagious or not. Abayomi said one of the difficulties the state was having in tracking down persons who travelled via Turkish Airlines with the index case into Nigeria was the inaccurate contact details in their forms.“Of the 159 passenger that boarded the aircraft with the index patient, 84 resides in Lagos and only 49 have been contacted, while the remaining 35 are still unreachable. 65 people have left Lagos either to other states or other countries.
He said the state’s priority was to stop the virus from spreading within the country, adding that the major focus was at the airport.
