Good news to all Lagosians
With a population of over 200 million people, Nigeria is one of the most populous black nations worldwide. As with the rest of the world, Nigeria is currently dealing with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, but in a somewhat different fashion.
On Feb 27, 2020, the first official case of COVID-19 in Nigeria was announced.
The patient was an Italian citizen, who had recently arrived in Lagos from Europe and who,
a few days later, tested positive for the disease. In Ogun state, a neighboring state to Lagos,
another patient was identified and was discovered to have been in contact with the first patient.
Since then, the situation has developed with more cases occurring, regardless of measures initiated by
the state and federal government to combat the virus and return to normalcy. As of April 22, there were 873 confirmed cases, 197 recoveries, and 28 deaths.
On May 5th, 2019;20 females & 40 males, all Nigerians were today discharged from one of the Isolation Centers in Lagos,Nigeria.
This is an assurance that things are getting better and normalcy will kick back in Nigeria.
