Quarantined Chinese Tests Negative For Coronavirus In Lagos

Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi, says the Chinese who arrived Lagos on Monday aboard an Ethiopian Airline flight with cough has tested negative for the novel coronavirus, Covid-19.

Abayomi made the disclosure via Twitter on Tuesday evening.

The commissioner had earlier said that the Chinese was exhibiting symptoms of the virus, necessitating his isolation at the airport.

Abayomi said samples collected from him and tested at the biosecurity laboratory came out negative.

Since Covid-19 broke out last December in Wuhan, China, 73 countries have now reported cases of the deadly disease.

An Italian from Milan was Nigeria’s first confirmed case of coronavirus in February.

He is being managed at the Infectious Disease Hospital in Yaba, Lagos.
