Nearly two weeks ago, the first Coronavirus (COVID-19) case in Africa was confirmed in Egypt when a passenger tested positive after landing at Cairo Internal Egypt. The Egyptian authorities took care of the situation and news reaching us is that the patient subsequently recovered.

Yesterday in West Africa, Nigeria confirmed the first case of the same epidemic, as an Italian national who works in Nigerian but had flown away to Milan, Italy, came back only to test positive for coronavirus.

Nigerian health ministry released the statement confirming the news, and said that the patient has been duly put under close monitoring at the Infectious Disease Hospital in Yaba, Lagos, to make sure it is contained.
