She said a 38-year-old Ekiti indigene, who drove the American who arrived in the country through the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos from Richmond, Virginia, United States and his  31-year-old Nigerian caregiver, from Lagos to Ibadan and Ado-Ekiti, tested positive for COVID-19.

He has been placed in isolation, she added.

The Ekiti indigene is one of the five new COVID-19 cases announced yesterday in Abuja by Minister of Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire.

The commissioner added that the test on the American, who took ill a few days after arriving the Ekiti State capital from Ibadan, Oyo State, and later died, was “inconclusive”  But his female care-giver’s result was negative. She is, however, to remain in isolation for now.

Yaya-Kolade explained that the American and the care-giver were driven from the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos to Ibadan by the 38-year-old man, where they stayed for two weeks before arriving   Ado Ekiti on March 13.

 

She added that the American was admitted into a private hospital from where he was rushed to a tertiary hospital where he died of complications of a yet-to-be-determined illness.

The commissioner said: “We have commenced the process of contact tracing, working with the Federal Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization (WHO) following the team’s itinerary since they landed in Nigeria on the 3rd of March 2020.

“We have also contacted the Oyo State Government since it was recorded that they stayed in Ibadan for two weeks before arriving at Ekiti State.”

“The confirmed case is very stable and not showing any symptoms while NCDC will repeat the test for the caregiver who is also in self-isolation.”
