The third case was confirmed on March 9, 2020, and the passenger had traveled from Italy to Lagos on March 6, 2020. The Lagos State Government has identified 43 passengers who were on the same flight as the infected person and has asked them to self-isolate for 14 days as a precautionary measure.

The state government has also set up a task force to monitor the passengers and ensure that they comply with the self-isolation order. The task force will also provide support and assistance to the passengers during the isolation period.

This move is part of the state government's efforts to contain the spread of the virus and protect the public's health. The Lagos State Government has also increased its surveillance and monitoring of passengers arriving in the state from countries with confirmed cases of the virus.

It's worth noting that the Nigerian government has also activated its National Emergency Operations Centre (NEOC) to coordinate the response to the outbreak and has set up a task force to monitor the situation and provide updates to the public.

The self-isolation order is a precautionary measure to prevent the spread of the virus, and it's essential for the passengers to comply with the order to ensure their own safety and the safety of others.
