The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) says 23 suspected cases of coronavirus have been identified in Edo, Lagos, Ogun, FCT and Kano states.

Chikwe Ihekweazu, NCDC director-general, disclosed this on Sunday, in Abuja.

He said besides the index case recorded in Lagos, there is no new confirmed case of the virus in the country.

Ihekweazu said a total of 219 contacts of the index case were identified, including contacts from hotel, workplace and hospital.


“No new contacts have been reported in Lagos and Ogun states,” he said.

He said the confirmed case is clinically stable at the designated treatment facility for the virus at the infectious disease hospital (IDH) in Yaba, Lagos.

He reiterated that a multi-sectoral national emergency operations centre (EOC) activated at level three had continued to coordinate the national response activities led by NCDC.

He said field investigations were ongoing and all contacts were undergoing daily symptom monitoring.

He said there was also a centralised follow-up of persons of interests (POIs) initiated for people outside Lagos and Ogun states.

“Testing of samples collected through the national influenza sentinel surveillance system as part of enhanced surveillance is ongoing,” he said.

“A draft tool for tracking and monitoring HCW infection has been developed.”

Ihekweazu said resources on the virus have also been developed by NCDC for guidance of schools, infection prevention and control recommendations for health workers.

Alright

Well since the Italian has recovered and is eating hot amala, we can only hope Nigeria will record no casualties leading to death.
I watch the international news Daily and I can tell the virus is terrible. But nonetheless God will keep us safe through this travails.

I pray Monday starts for us all on a good note. Please I need a job too no matter the distance. I am tired of being stranded, unemployed and broke.

I don’t understand. 23 suspected cases identified in different part of the country. 1) Does it mean there is a spread? 2) Have more people brought in the various into the country?

This information will sure create panic when you realize that your state is on that list

I don't think there was any case of the virus in Nigeria and I pray It doesn't really get into Nigeria cos all the doctors would go on strike if it really happens as per excuse to run. that doctor was forming 3 meters without nose mask
