Hello @NCDCgov. In respect to the 6 new cases that “were detected on a vessel” in Lagos, the Authority in collaboration with Port Health has not recorded any confirmed cases to date. https://t.co/Egi6pdrWeK

NPA’s response might not be unconnected to the 14-days restrictions that president Buhari placed on cargo vessels as one of the measures the federal government is taking to contain the spread of the disease.
The coronavirus disease is spreading fast and cases are increasing daily. As at yesterday, Nigeria has 65 confirmed cases following the confirmation of 14, three discharges, and one recorded death.
Lagos is the epicentre of the Coronavirus with 44 confirmed cases.
