Nigeria confirms first Corona Vorus case in Lagos

“The case is an Italian citizen who works inย Nigeriaย and returned from Milan, Italy to Lagos,ย Nigeriaย on the 25th of February 2020,” Health Minister Osagie Ehanire said in a statement on Twitter.

“The patient is clinically stable, with no serious symptoms, and is being managed at the Infectious Disease Hospital in Yaba, Lagos.”

Prior to the case inย Nigeria, just two cases had surfaced across all of Africa — in Egypt and in Algeria — a tally that had puzzled health specialists, given the continent’s close economic ties with China.

The World Health Organization warned earlier this week that African health systems wereย ill-equipped to respond to the deadly coronavirus outbreak should cases start to proliferate on the continent.
