Five health workers, including a consultant, three doctors and a nurse, have tested positive for COVID-19 at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital (UITH).
A suspected COVID-19 patient, Muideen Obanimomo, had died on April 2 while on admission at the Accident and Emergency unit of the hospital.
The deceased wife was later confirmed COVID-19 positive after the husband’s corpse had been released to the family for burial without an autopsy.
The management of the hospital had consequently suspended a professor of Internal Medicine at the hospital, Alakija Salami, for behaving in a “highly unethical” way by concealing the deceased’s travel history from the frontline medical personnel at first contact in the Accident and Emergency unit.
It is however not known yet if any of the affected health workers had contact with the late Obanimomo while he was on admission in the hospital.
