First case of corona virus confirmed in lagosstate
I'm happy to help you with your question! However, I need to clarify that the first case of COVID-19 (not Corona virus) was confirmed in Nigeria, not Lagos State specifically.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Nigerian Ministry of Health, the first case of COVID-19 in Nigeria was confirmed on February 27, 2020. The patient was a 31-year-old Italian national who had traveled to Nigeria and was admitted to a hospital in Lagos State.
Here's a summary of the situation:
- Date: February 27, 2020
- Location: Lagos State, Nigeria
- Patient: 31-year-old Italian national
- Symptoms: Fever, cough, and shortness of breath
- Travel history: Had traveled to Nigeria from Italy
The patient was promptly isolated and treated, and contact tracing was conducted to identify and monitor individuals who may have been in close contact with the patient.
Since then, there have been several cases of COVID-19 reported in Nigeria, with the majority of them being imported cases. However, the country has also reported some locally transmitted cases.
I hope this information is helpful!
