Lagos Isolates Nigerian with Suspected Case of Coronavirus

A Nigerian who returned from France Monday and suspected to be infected with the Coronavirus disease has been isolated at the Infectious Disease Centre in Yaba pending the outcome of his result.

He said: “The Nigerian spent seven days in France, returned to Lagos three days ago and presented with headache and some respiratory symptoms. He has been in a country where there is active person-to-person transmission, so it could be a common cold or Coronavirus. He has been put in isolation, the test is being run right now, I am expecting the result,” Abayomi said.

“Although the Italian developed some respiratory issues some days ago, he was given some specific therapies which helped in addressing the symptom. The specific therapies are not curative, but they helped in addressing the specific symptoms he had. His clinical situation is quite stable.” “We know within the next one week he will be travelling back. So we are doing all to ensure he is negative before he leaves, because there will be passengers on flight when he leaves. He has to have aa zero viral load so no one gets infected,” he added.
