3weeks ago, a 38year old lady delivered a baby at Alimosho General Hospital. She developed womb infection 5days ago and was transferred to LASUTH ikeja 3days ago. She tested positive for Coronavirus.

That patient died today.

Over 2,000people have been exposed in Alimosho alone.

There was suspicion of Coronavirus when the patient was moved to LASUTH- so the hospital took safe precautions and tested her quickly.

She died today sadly from the infection.

The part of the emergency room in LASUTH where she was, would be fumigated and shut down for 48 hours.

Doctors and nurses who came in contact with her are to self-isolate for a week and be tested if they become unwell or develop worrying symptoms.

But the big worry here is that in the last 14days, this woman has been to two major Lagos hospitals- one in Ikeja and one in Alimosho.

From what I understand, more than 2,000 people in Alimosho are now being traced as possible exposure to the virus through this event.

So we really have a long way to go,
And Lagos has a lot of work to do.

Please kindly stay at home,
And avoid all unnecessary movements outside.

Nothing was said about travel history.
And nothing was said about contact with anyone who returned from abroad.

So I cannot comment on that.

In the absence of that though,
That will suggest we now have community transmission and that further means, we all have to stay alert.

I also heard possibilities of how she may have been infected by people who attended the naming ceremony after the baby was born in Alimosho.

Nobody knows these things for sure.

However we know for sure that a whole lot of people were exposed and everyone needs to be careful.

And by the way, Alimosho is the largest local government in Lagos State- so a potential outbreak in Alimosho will be disastrous.

So again, I can only make an appeal to everyone reading this:

For your own good:
Pls stay at home,
Practise social distancing,
And inform others too.
