The Lagos state government has
placed four children under quarantine over their contact with a coronavirus
patient.
Akin Abayomi, the state
commissioner for health, announced this at a press conference on Wednesday.
He said the four children and two
adults have been quarantined at the Mainland Hospital, Yaba.
The four children and their
teacher had flown from US, while the other adult flew into the country from the
UK.
“Four children and their teacher
who flew into the country from the United States, plus another man who flew in
from the United Kingdom have been quarantined at the Mainland Hospital, Yaba,”
he said.
“The four children and their
teacher were quarantined after coming in contact with an infected person.”
Nigeria recorded its index case on
February 24 after an Italian entered the country on a business trip.
A second case has also been
confirmed.
The virus which broke out in
Wuhan, China, in December, has infected over 100,000 persons.
