The Lagos Commissioner for Health, Professor Akin Abayomi, has confirmed four new cases of the COVID-19 pandemic in Lagos, bringing the total number of cases confirmed in the country to 12.

The Health Commissioner confirmed the new case at a news briefing on Thursday.

This comes barely one day after the Federal Ministry of Health confirmed five new cases of Coronavirus (COVID-19) in the country

The Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire, confirming the news at a press briefing on Wednesday in Abuja, explained that out of the five new cases, three arrived from the United States while two came from the United Kingdom.

“We are still collating information on the travellers; two out of the three from the US are Nigerian, a mother and a 6-week old baby which makes it the youngest COVID-19 patient we have.

“The third is an American national, who crossed the land border to become the first COVID-19 case not arriving by air. The two cases from the UK are Nigerians”.

The Minister noted that a detailed travel history of each person is being compiled and contacts currently being traced, to identify persons who have recently been in contact with anyone.

Wow

This country is just full of comedians, u better tell the real number of infected people rather than adding them on a daily basis.

Interesting times

And the dullard is yet to address the nation.... close the border they didn't close they waited till they got a case so they can receive intervention from WHO.. well, the good news even the untouchables will be touched..as Nigerians, the only way we can help ourselves is just pray and follow some basic safety precautions because the government is not ready to do anything and none of the isolation can work here because
1.no electricity
2. People need to eat and fend for themselves

Oh boy! Looks like things are getting messier real fast.

It's a no brainer. More cases are going to spring up. As we speak we may already have hundreds of unreported positive cases roaming within the populace.

Our only hope is our natural defense system and discipline in adhering to social distancing restrictions. Let's pray that infected persons continue to be asymptomatic.

Contagion rises once more.

Restoration greetings

No Rvil shall befall us/any plague come near our dwelling place
