The Lagos state Ministry of Health has stated that the new confirmed cases of coronavirus in the state are four, even though the Federal Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire announced it was five new cases.
In a Wednesday afternoon tweet that seems to be a correction to the information earlier given, the Lagos Ministry described the four as: a mother and child who arrived Lagos on 13th March, 2020 from California on Virgin Atlantic flight number VS411, an American citizen who came into Lagos through Benin Republic border on 13th March, 2020, Another Nigerian who returned to Lagos from London on 13th March, 2020 via Virgin Atlantic Flight number VS411.
According to the figures by Lagos, there are now 7 coronavirus cases in the country.
But, the Federal authorities said there are eight.
Perhaps the Federal authorities added the suspect case of an Indian, who was also admitted into the coronavirus facility.
But Lagos said the Indian national tested negative. “He is doing perfectly well in our isolation unit. His case will be reviewed in the morning”, LSMOH said.
