Quarantined chinese in lagos airport free of coronavirus
According to reports, a group of 157 Chinese nationals who were quarantined at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) in Lagos, Nigeria after arriving from China have been cleared of the coronavirus.
The group, who arrived in Nigeria on February 27, were placed under quarantine by the Nigerian government as a precautionary measure to prevent the spread of the virus.
After undergoing a series of tests, including PCR (polymerase chain reaction) tests, all the passengers have been confirmed to be free of the coronavirus.
The Nigerian government, through the Federal Ministry of Health, announced the clearance of the passengers on March 10, stating that they had been cleared after a thorough screening and testing process.
The clearance of the passengers was a significant development in Nigeria's efforts to prevent the spread of the virus, which has affected over 100,000 people globally.
It's worth noting that Nigeria has taken several measures to prevent the spread of the virus, including restricting travel from countries affected by the outbreak, increasing surveillance at ports of entry, and providing information and guidance to the public on how to prevent the spread of the virus.
Here's a quote from the Nigerian Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire, on the clearance of the passengers:
"We are pleased to announce that the 157 Chinese nationals who were quarantined at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport have been cleared of the coronavirus. This is a significant development in our efforts to prevent the spread of the virus in Nigeria. We will continue to take all necessary measures to protect the health and well-being of our citizens."
