A 30 year old Nigerian, female, has tested positive to Corona virus. According to reports, she returned from the UK on 13th March and observed self-Isolation after she noticed symptoms of the virus.
The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) has meanwhile issued a public health advisory to inform Nigerians about symptoms and preventive measures, and has provided a toll-free number for guidance.
May Ubeku, a public health practitioner and epidemiologist, said Nigerian health authorities were “fully prepared” to contain the spread of the coronavirus, citing the series of measures introduced since January.
