The Lagos State Government said it was yet to trace the 158 passengers aboard the Turkish airliner that flew in the Italian who is Nigeria’s index case of the virus.
It restated that while some of the passengers had travelled to other states in Nigeria, others had gone back to Europe. Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu stated this during a meeting with chairmen of Local Government Councils, Local Council Development Areas, Community Development Associations and All Progressives Congress (APC) stalwarts on how to effectively prevent the spread of the virus.
He added that some of the passengers who were contacted on the telephone, gave “false information.” “There were 25 people who came in contact with him at the factory(in Ogun State); there were two drivers and an ambulance driver. We have quarantined those identified so far at our medical facilities and some of them at home. “We are calling them twice a day to check if they are okay. If they develop symptoms, we will bring them to our bio-security facility for test.
