The Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Akin Abayomi has said that the three patients who were suspected to have contacted coronavirus (COVID-19) in Lagos and isolated, have been confirmed negative adding that the analyses conducted on their samples were negative and the patients have been discharged.
The trio arrived Nigeria from France, England and China and were isolated given the ministry’s suspicion that they might have COVID-19 infection. One of the suspected patients is a Nigerian who spent seven days in France before he returned in Nigeria.
Abayomi earlier said that the ministry will not take chances as all suspected cases would be isolated till their test results come out. This is a strategy by the Lagos State government to curtail the spread of COVID-19, which has claimed thousands and has been recorded in over 80 countries.
