Second coronavirus case confirmed in nigeria
According to reports, on February 27, 2020, the Nigerian government confirmed a second case of coronavirus (COVID-19) in the country. The new case was reported in Lagos State, which is the commercial hub of the country.
The patient, a 35-year-old Nigerian citizen, had recently traveled to Italy, where he was exposed to the virus. He returned to Nigeria on February 25 and was immediately taken to a hospital in Lagos, where he was isolated and tested for the virus.
The Nigerian Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) confirmed the case, stating that the patient was in stable condition and receiving treatment. The NCDC also assured the public that the patient was not showing any symptoms of the virus and was being closely monitored.
This second case has raised concerns about the spread of the virus in Nigeria, which has a population of over 200 million people. The government has taken measures to contain the spread of the virus, including:
- Increasing surveillance and testing for the virus
- Isolating and quarantining suspected cases
- Providing personal protective equipment (PPE) to healthcare workers
- Conducting public awareness campaigns to educate the public about the virus and its prevention
The Nigerian government has also activated its National Emergency Operations Centre (NEOC) to coordinate the response to the outbreak.
It's worth noting that the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the COVID-19 outbreak a global pandemic, and many countries, including Nigeria, are taking measures to prevent the spread of the virus.
