The suspected coronavirus case who was quarantined in Enugu has
tested negative for the disease, the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) reports.
The agency made this known in a tweet on its Twitter
handle on Sunday, although it had
earlier said that the patient’s result would be available on Monday.
“The laboratory result of the patient in Enugu suspected
to have #COVID19 is NEGATIVE. It is important to wait for
confirmation from NCDC before spreading information on social media.
NCDC will continue to provide updates to the public,” the tweet read.
