At least 28 persons have been identified and quarantined in Ogun State after they came in contact with Nigeria’s first case of Coronavirus.

This situation has also led to the shut down of Large, one of the leading cement manufacturer in Nigeria.

Lagosspy.ng earlier reported that the Italian came into Nigeria on Monday aboard Turkish Airlines and went straight to Ewekoro, Ogun State, where he had contact with several Lafarge employees.

A source at Lafarge, a cement manufacturer in Ogun, told SaharaReporters that, “I am just concerned about the primary contacts.

“The man (driver) is back here now, there are no plans of taking him into isolation

“The health care providers were not also isolated.

“The driver was allowed to go home, claiming he didn’t break any protocol when he delivered the man.

“The company tried to smuggle the Italian out of Lagos by air by pretending that he had Malaria.

“There are so many persons that had been exposed to the index case and if these people are not found and quarantined, we could be in big trouble.”
