March 10, 2020 by Don Saint 0 Comments

The Minister of Health, Dr Osagie Ehanire, on Monday, confirmed a second case of coronavirus in the country.

The Federal Government moved to stop the spread of the disease as the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), set up a 12-man Presidential Task Force for the Control of Coronavirus-19.

The killer virus was brought into Nigeria by an Italian who arrived in Lagos on February 24 from Milan on a Turkish Airlines flight.

Addressing a press conference at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Benin, Ehanire said “the new contact is a victim who had contact with the Italian who imported it to Nigeria”.

He said 40 people in Ogun State and 20 others in Lagos who had contact with the Italian had been quarantined.

The minister said the Federal Government had so far committed about N1bn to monitoring and preventing the spread of the disease.
