The raging epidemic seems not to be slowing down any minute as toll rises in Nigeria. Five new cases confirmed today has risen the number of infected people to 8.
According to the Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire, the new cases had a travel history to the UK and US.
The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control through their Twitter account had this to say;
“@Fmohnigeria has announced 5 new cases of #COVID19 in Nigeria bringing the total number confirmed cases in Nigeria to 8. All 5 cases had a travel history to the UK/USA. We urge Nigerians to remain calm as public health response activities are intensified across the country.
A detailed travel history of each case is being compiled & contact tracing has begun. Our National Emergency Operations Centre is supporting response in the states. The Federal Government through @Fmohnigeria is conducting risk assessment to initiate other relevant measures.
@Fmohnigeria through NCDC will continue to provide accurate updates & take the necessary measures to protect the health of Nigerians. We ask that the public refrain from spreading false information while we all engage in proper hand & respiratory hygiene to #PreventCOVID19Spread”
