The Minister of
Health, Osagie Ehanire, has disclosed why the name of the Italian citizen
infected with Coronavirus will not be made public.
Ehanire who was
speaking at a press briefing on Monday said the Italian citizen’s name will not
be exposed because it is a convention in Medicine.
”You do not give out
a patient’s name without his permission. If someone has a problem, you can talk
about the problem and not his name
”I am not sure if he
has been asked, but he has not given permission for his name to be made public.
He might want his privacy and there is no need for anyone to know his name.”
The minister further
explained that the condition of the patient is good.
He said, ”I was able
to see him. He was strolling around in his room, I could see him from the glass
window. And according to the doctors, his case is quite mild.”
Ehanire noted that
although he was yet to see the taxi driver who drove the Italian citizen from
the airport, he is being monitored.
”I didn’t see the
taxi driver who drove the patient, but he has been identified. He is under
monitoring and self-isolation. ”
Recall that the Federal Government on Friday confirmed its first case of Coronavirus
in the country.
