Three persons suspected to be infected with the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) have been identified and are being tested in the Lagos isolation centre.
The Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Professor Akin Abayomi, disclosed this in a tweet on Thursday evening.
We now have 3 suspected cases under isolation in our containment facility in Yaba. One from France, one from England and one from China. Their samples have been taken and results are been expected.
One of those involved is a Nigerian who returned from France three days ago, a second entered the country from the United Kingdom and a third from China.
Their results are not yet out.
Meanwhile, all but two contacts of the 44-year-old Italian who tested positive to the virus about a week ago have been found.
