The new coronavirus patient who returned from the UK is said to have lived with the virus in Ogba, Lagos.
This was disclosed on social media by Ayo Alaba Idowu, the president of Bird View Communications.
In his post, Ayo stated that he had to subject the staff of his company to coronavirus testing after one of them had contact with the UK returnee.
He revealed that the said staff lived in the same house with the UK returnee who tested positive to the virus.
He wrote: "Today, I made a painful, but necessary, decision to suspend operations at our business headquarter in Ikeja for the next 15 days, and subject about 15 employees in the building to Coronavirus test and subsequent government quarantine or self-quarantine. This was after a staff was exposed to a family member that returned from U.K. on Saturday and tested positive to Coronavirus in the early hours of today. The person that tested positive had lived in the same house with our staff member between Saturday and early hours of today.
"Nigerian government reportedly traced the person to the Ogba address in the early hours of today, conducted the test and found out that the person was positive. Our immediate response to the situation was not to discriminate against the staff that was exposed, but to join hands to support the spread of the global pandemic situation. We are providing all possible supports to keep our people safe and fight COVID-19 together".
