Coronavirus: Patients Who Lied About Their Travel History All Tested Positive, 1 Dead In Benin City.

3 patients were tested positive for Coronavirus. 1 of them is dead.
ALL of them denied coming back from Europe and have exposed health workers to the virus.

Right now, 25 doctors have now gone into isolation in UBTH Benin.

This happened today in University of Benin Teaching Hospital in Edo State.

The patients were admitted via A and E with complaints of cough, difficulty in breathing, catarrh but they all DENIED their travel history.

They were initially tested as negative and they were then transferred to the open ward where they had contact with many doctors, nurses, cleaners, and health workers.

Also, One of them deteriorated so bad and they repeated the test for all of them after 72hours- it came back POSITIVE.

The one that deteriorated had kidney problems and is now dead.

However, 25 medical doctors have now gone into isolation in UBTH.

Of that 25, thirteen are doctors who just graduated from medical school.

Why do people choose to lie and endanger others? Now they will further compromise the already battered medical system that needs as many fit healthcare providers on ground!

Close down the border.
You guys say no.

Returnee cannot be trusted to place people's health above their own convenience.
They have now knocked 25 doctors and may spark a new wave of infection.

It is wickedness for a patient to lie about his/ her travel history especially if it concerns Coronavirus infection.

I expect health workers to watch out for symptoms that may give out signals irrespective of travel history because we have local transmissions of this virus in Nigeria already, and should not expose themselves unnecessarily.

so travel history is what now determines if doctors will wear protective gear to attend to patients ? what of those who never travelled but are now infected ?

Protective Gear for nurses and doctors should be the standard now

Some renowned private hospitals now make their car park d first point of call for patients. They meet them there with their protective gears&check for corona virus symptoms before any other thing.

First, note that when there is no apparent reason to suspect Corona, these patients are placed in general wards, exposing them to other patients, cleaners and other medical personnel like nurses and doctors.

Secondly, protective gear shouldn't be for just doctors; every staff should have it on now but this is Nigeria where everything good as far as this subject is concerned is scarce even before there is any major surge. Beyond medical personnel and staff, what about other patients and even family members that will not be restricted from visiting?

This is the problem of inadequate testing ..at this time rapid testing should be happening since even the patients may not know it is covid 19

Our model is faulty because no matter how honest the person is some medical personel would have been exposed in the course of questioning

When a govt of 200 million people is happy that 1500 tests can be done daily and results can take up to 48 hours we know there is danger ahead

Truly unfortunate I tell you. And sadly like you said, there are lots of rabid supporters out there whose lives may even be at stake when the deliberate inadequacies they support now stare them in the face!

I can't just fathom why some people just decided to endanger their lives & that of others.
My thoughts and prayers are with the affected doctors, nurses, cleaners and health workers.
