5th April Covid-19 Update, Nationwide, Lagos State, Worldwide

5th April COVID19 Update sees 10 new cases reported nationwide as of 11:15am.

No new case was reported in Lagos as of close of business, 4th April.

However, reports reaching us indicate that a patient LUTH hid his status and travel history. This especially after an initial test result came out negative.

Sadly, he was kept under observation in the general ward of the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH).  He presented symptoms of regular fever. A second test came out positive after he had spent some days at the holding area where he mingled with other patients.

A source told Vanguard that:

“The said patient was admitted Thursday night at the Accident and Emergency Unit of LUTH. He was later diagnosed to have a renal problem.

“It is unfortunate that some people are wicked, it was after his death his family members admitted his travel history and had presented with some signs of COVID-19.  It was when somebody started suspecting that they admitted. This is murder who knows how many people the family may have infected,”  Another source lamented.
