Update on suspected' Corona virus case in Lagos today 1/02/2020

The attention of @followlasg and @LSMOH has been drawn to a story of a query suspected case of #2019nCoV infection which presented at a particular private hospital in Lekki on 29/01/2020 @jidesanwoolu @LNCtoday

The subject in question is an adult male Nigerian who arrived from China 4 days ago. He was in Shanghai throughout his stay in China and during his stay he did not have any contact with anyone who was ill or from Wuhan region. #StopOutbreaks #StopnCoV @NCDCgov @Fmohnigeria

On his return to Lagos he has followed our instructions from @LSMOH and like a responsible member of the society has chosen to self quarantine. He presented to a hospital for a check up just to be sure but was found to be perfectly well and asked to return home @NCDCgov @WHO

to continue his self quarantine. He is therefore clinically not a suspected case of #2019-nCoV as he is not exhibiting any symptoms.
As of 2:38pm today when i called the epidemiology officers of @LSMOH and the doctor that attended to him at the hospital in Lekki,

he remains in perfect health with no symptoms of #nCoV2019.
Nevertheless @LSMOH will continue to monitor his welfare till the end of his self quarantine period.
As of now there is no suspected or confirmed case of #nCoV2019 in Lagos. #StopOtbreaks #ForAGreaterLagos @NCDCgov
