The Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Idi-Araba and the
University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital have put no fewer than 40 health
workers, including doctors and nurses, in isolation following their contact
with people infected with COVID-19.
LUTHโs Chairman of the Medical Advisory Council, Prof Wasiu
Adeyemo, on Tuesday told journalists that 12 workers of the health institution
had gone into isolation.
According to him, the 12 workers might have had contact with
a patient, who died of COVID-19 at the
hospital last week.
At the UITH, 28 health workers are in isolation for coming
in contact with an accountant, Muideen Obanimomo that died of COVID-19 in the
hospital on Thursday. (Text and photo courtesy Punch)
