The Nigerian who tested positive for Covid-19 in the U.S. likely got it outside Nigeria, the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control disclosed yesterday.
NCDC, in a tweet said the patient’s travel history shows that the likelihood of his infection while in Nigeria is very low.
Tweeting via its handle @NCDCgov, the agency said it had made contact with the relevant US government agencies over the development.
“We are in touch with @CDCgov & @USCDCNIGERIA on the #COVID19 positive case in Washington, of Nigerian origin.
“The patient’s travel history shows that the likelihood of his infection while in Nigeria is very low,” it wrote.
The unnamed Nigeria who tested positive to the disease in Washington DC was said to have gone to visit relatives in the town.
