Three of the 256 Nigerians who were recently evacuated by the federal government from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have tested positive for COVID-19 in Lagos State.
Lagos Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi, made this known via his Twitter handle today.
He tweeted, “Three of the returnees recently evacuated from Dubai have tested positive for #COVID-19 infection following #COVID19 test conducted on them.
“Those affected have been admitted to Lagos #COVID19 care centre for appropriate treatment protocols.”
One of the returnees who reportedly suffered a chronic illness had died earlier at the state government’s isolation centre in Lekki.
