This means Nigeria
has only one confirmed case of the virus which has killed more than 3000 people
and infected over 100,000 people across the world.
Nigeria recorded its
first confirmed case of the virus exactly one week ago following the arrival of
an Italian from Milan, which has the worst case of the disease in Europe.
The patient
reportedly lodged in a hotel close to Murtala Muhammed International Airport,
Lagos, on February 24 before proceeding to Ewekoro in Ogun state, the next day.
He was said to have
manifested symptoms of the virus before he was tested for coronavirus and
Infectious Disease Hospital.
The government
subsequently announced that 38 persons who had contact with him were traced and
isolated.
