The Italian man who brought coronavirus to Nigeria has been discharged.

He was discharged after testing negative for the virus.

Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Friday night disclosed this on Twitter page saying..

As the COVID-19 Incident Commander for Lagos State, I am glad to inform you that the index case, the Italian gentleman is now negative.

Through a combined effort of Lagos State, Ogun State and Federal Health Authorities, we were able to limit the transmission of the virus to a single contact.

This involved aggressive contact tracing and containment strategies. However we now have several new imported cases and we hope to apply the same contact tracing strategy along with social distancing to slow down the outbreak which may be brewing from these new cases.

The index patient consented to donating one unit of white blood (otherwise called plasma) before he was discharged today. The blood plasma is rich in antibody proteins that target #COVID19 virus.

The white blood plasma is frozen in our Bio-bank and will be useful in handling new cases.

The blood plasma will be beneficial for the treatment of new patients in the absence of a defined therapeutic drug for #COVID19 yet.

The index patient appreciated the exceptional care and support given to him by staff of the mainland infectious Disease Hospital,Yaba, all members of the EOC / @followlasg.

The EOC team was extremely happy to bid the patient farewell.

Once again, we would like to convey the enthusiasm of our team to do the very best possible in handling incidents of Coronavirus

They should show his face joor make we know how to avoid them

Pre-2015

APC would have made noise about the Federal government insensitivity to the masses and argue successfully for and against the same case.

They would have 'uncovered' a massive plan to decimate the population with the flu.

It would have been a 'Federal government scheme' to hide the identity of the index patient as there was no COVID 19 to begin with.

I can go on and on but now 2020, no one is raising an eyebrow...

This is good news...but he should also minimize social interactions

Great news.

A win for Nigeria.

He would have died if it were his home country.

We deserve the bragging rights.
