The Lagos State Government has said that 84 of the passengers on the same flight with the Italian being treated for coronavirus in the state are based Lagos.
The Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi, said yesterday that the Italian was responding to treatment.
He said it is against medical practice to disclose the identity of the patient.
“On the flight, we’ve up to date, 149 persons out of whom 84 of them are based in Lagos and 65 of them have travelled out of Lagos. We’re using WHO and state epidemiologists to track them because they’re no longer in our jurisdiction. Out of the 84 based in Lagos, 49 are reachable; while 35 are unreachable. We’re trying our best through other means to contact them.
“As for the 35 that are unreacheable, this is due to the abnormal data they might have provided in their forms; wrong information, both telephone numbers, residential and the next-of-kin.”
