Togo, a West African
country, has confirmed its first case of coronavirus.
In a statement on
Friday, the Togolese government said the patient is a 42-year-old female
resident of Lome, the country’s capital.
The statement said
the woman had visited Benin, Germany, France and Turkey in late February and
early March.
She is reportedly
being treated in isolation and her condition is stable.
Meanwhile,
coronavirus has infected more than 100,000 people across 91 countries in the
world. The death toll has also exceeded 3,000.
China where the
disease first broke out in December has
made some progress as many patients have been discharged from treatment centres
in Wuhan, the Chinese city with the first case of the virus.
However, many of the
cases confirmed in China in the last 24 hours are people who arrived in the
country from different parts of the world.
Nigeria currently
has a single confirmed case of coronavirus. The patient is an Italian who flew
into the country from Milan, which has the worst coronavirus record in Europe.
Cameroon confirmed
its first case of the virus earlier on Friday while Egypt detected 12 new
cases.
