Nigeria is the Next Destination of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Patients Across the Globe, But the Strategic Plan for Medical Laboratories is in the Pipeline |Biomedgrid

Nigeria had the index case of COVID-19 on 27th February, 2020 as announced by the Federal Ministry of Health (FMoH) [1]. It is very important to recall that the corona virus disease emanated from Hunan Seafood Market in Wuhan China as reported by the Chinese Health Authority about the mysterious cases of pneumonia on December 31, 2019 [2,3]. The index case of COVID-19 and second positive patient has been confirmed negative with the unrelenting efforts of the health professionals in Nigeria. This appears to mean that the foreigners and Nigerians can be well managed in the present COVID-19 pandemic. Little wonder the five (5) Nigerians decided to return home (2 person from UK) and the other (3 person from US) bringing the number of COVID-19 patients to eight as reported by FMoH [4].
