Two foreign nationals, who were suspected to have contacted the Coronavirus (COVID-19) from Asia, have tested negative to the disease in Lagos State, Chief Incident Commander of the virus, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu said yesterday. He said, “We convened this meeting as part of proactive measures we are taking to prevent the spread of Coronavirus to our local communities. It is no more news that we are managing a case in Lagos, but the situation does not call for panic. He was suspected to have contacted the Coronavirus disease following several coughs, as he disembarked from an Ethiopian Airline aircraft yesterday. However, reports indicated that he was immediately separated from other passengers and after checks by Port Health officials he was scheduled to undergo other tests at the Lagos State Centre for Disease Control, but he tested negative when the result was released.
