The Secretary to the Government of the Federation , Boss Mustapha; Minister of Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire; and Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Health, Mr. Abdullahi Mashi, have all tested negative to the coronavirus .
Concerning an aide of the President who tested positive, the Minister said: “One aide of the President was tested and is in a secure government facility where he is being monitored and checked. I can tell you that the facility is inside Nigeria.

We have capacity to handle cases right now

If as a doctor, for example, you are going into a place where a person who is positive is being treated, then, you will wear PPE. So, it is not everybody that needs it”. “As of today, 26th of March 2020, we have recorded 51 confirmed cases of coronavirus disease COVID-19 in Nigeria, of which 32 are in Lagos, 10 in FCT, 3 in Ogun and 1 each in Ekiti, Oyo, Edo, Bauchi, Osun and Rivers States.

The inconveniences are regretted, but I urge all citizens to accept and practice them in good faith, as they are for our common good and in the interest of us all,” he said.
