The Minister of Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire, has revealed that the four Chinese nationals quarantined in Plateau State have tested negative for coronavirus (COVID-19).
Ehanire said this at a news conference on Monday on the developing issue in Nigeria, where the index and only case remains an Italian.
The Plateau State Government had as a precaution quarantined four Chinese nationals working at mining sites in the state, who just returned from China.
But Ehanire announced on Monday: “None of these cases have any symptoms.”
He said they have all “been tested at the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control reference laboratory and they are all negative for coronavirus infection.”
He added: “We will continue to monitor the global situation with cases spreading quickly in countries as they are doing now.”
