The Lagos State Government on Saturday said it had moved the coronavirus patient to a better facility where he would be comfortable.The Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Prof.

Akin Abayomi, who made the latest disclosure, said the Italian was currently receiving treatment at the Infectious Disease facility at the Mainland Hospital in Yaba area of the state.

He said, “We were renovating part of the facilities, so we kept him in a single isolation room for his privacy but we’ve subsequently moved him to one of our completed wards which were recently renovated with the full complement of facilities.“As of this morning, his condition has improved, he hasn’t developed any new symptoms but he still got a mild fever and we would be running tests to see what the situation is with the virus in his body.

Abayomi, who spoke during a visit to the centre on Saturday, said the patient would be discharged when he has been certified to be okay. He said, “The patient has been with us for two days now. He arrived here on Thursday and he has been on supportive treatment and he is actually doing very well. “As soon as we get a negative screening, then we will keep him for another two or three days and repeat the test to make sure there are no more virus particles in his saliva and that means he will not be contagious again, then we will release him back into the community.”

So u guys hv better facility bfore y taking him to a dungeon.. Mitcheeew mad ppl

I don't believe coronavirus hav got to Nigeria. If yes what is the name of that Italian guy and his picture

Corona Virus😤😢 Please go away!

That's great. But a lot of people don't even know we have this kind of facility!

When I saw the facility, I quickly went to confirm the amount budgeted for the disease to be sure it wasn't N680 instead of N680m Nigeria ehn 😓😢

Please send him back to Italy and never to return until the vaccine for the virus is readily available. Please and I repeat don't release him to the community

Kill the bastard please.🙄🙄🙄

We didn't need to see his face, sha. Just saying.

So if he hadn't made attempt to japa you people will still keep him in that fawol house you called a quarantine center.!!

...but you told us, you were fully prepared.

So you don't have a better facility all these while you were shouting 'we're ready for the for the virus'? Nigeria 😂😂

Stop moving that dude around!

What a government! God help us. All we know is corruption.

Better facility? Now what's the capacity of that facility coz if this man had contact with the ppl he did with then the numbers will go up I hope your facility can cope with the increase number

Can't he be moved back to his country While are we still keeping him $ one night PHCN a. k. a. NEPA will seize light $ the man will escape $ that will become another story If a presidential jet could be sent to Bauchi 4 photo ceremony why can't one be used to save Nigerians lives

Inadequate preparation.

DogzyA

The news that has gone viral about mosquitos bite and the place is not well equipped is true. Nigeria is joker

You are lair, he has always been in the better facility and he never complained about where he was kept as you reported. Confuse yourself not us please.

Transferred to a better holding facility because he’s a foreigner....God save Nigerians

Medicine after death

Why are they renovating when we are prepared? Lai Mohammed said we are prepared. Governor Sanwo Olu echoed “We are fully prepared “

Lol this guy is infected

Because he's a foreigner

So they have a better facility before they put him in a terrible one

Mosquito, Heat & hunger would have killed the man before Covid-19 will. APC govt thinks that everything can be used for propaganda. Over 600M was released, and we know it has been shared as usual. When I saw the Seat used by the minister and the facility I knew we are not ready.

Please take him to Sheraton or protea he is an expertrait.

Before nko? Shebi ProfAkinAbayomi dey tell lies upandan? If una like no move am from dat infected Ebola relic when una dey lie dat una sabi beat Ebola una sabi beat coronavirus una dey prepared yada yada yen yen 1 patient only nd y'all can't cater? MBuhari NotMyPresident

Nigerians can be assured that corona virus will receive adequate attention and heads will be put together without political consideration or differences to defeat the menace.High profiles are also part of the struggle. You remember Ebola?

Sometimes you just keep wondering where this country is heading to. I thought the federal government has been bragging that they are ready for Coronavirus

Should there even be a poor facility at all?

Now I see the reason why he attempted to escape.

Release him back into the community or release him and send him back to his country on a private jet.

Please be careful

Please verify this o. You can't trust APC govts

Poor thing. With the way they're handling him, he may not make it. They've already broken his spirit with heat, mosquitoes and abandonment. Had he not tried to escape, they would have left him there to die.

Hmmmm

What's his name

Does it mean we were not prepared all these while? Even with all the awareness and update from other affected countries? It's obvious we like the fire brigade approach. Soo unfortunate! I just remembered the 5 foolish virgins Nigeria Nigeria

Praying for the medical professionals 🙏

Mtcheeew

Biko why did you ppll suffa oyinbo like dat in the first place na? Ha! No light no AC no insect net in this heat wave? Una nò do well at all

Deport him to his country

They lied that they have already prepared for the Corona virus, if you hear the millions already diverted for this disease you will faint. Yet they don't have a common good facility to admit just one man. And they want people to tell them if they are infected. Nonsense!

They were never prepare for Coronavirus we only had of millions of Naira and how Babajide SanwoOlu claims to take charge of ministry of health pending when the virus cub

Release him back to his country

Who will quarantine those mosquitoes that massacred those victims?

I hope it’s not Lasuth?

Better sir

He should have isolated himself in Italy. Why come into Nigeria and not take necessary precautions when he knows where he is coming from. If this has started in Africa, they would all have closed their borders against us

Why can't our leaders do the right thing for the first time and continue doing right? Is it in our DNA to be controveral? They have a better place to quarantine the man but choose to do otherwise. Disgracing yourselves to the whole World.

You even look like the virus . You guys are foolish . They had to cry for power supply and mosquitoes before you did

Lol 😂 🤣 only God can help 9ja ...

IGBAYI LAARO 😀😀😀😀

Can we see this 'better facility'

Tissle newspaper reporting

Oh he was actually in a messed up place and some people say fed govt is ready for convid 19

It seems this govt is not serious. You take every serious issue with levity hands.

Why can't they move the guy to the Senate house so he can infect all of them and infect buhari and co so coronavirus can just rid us of bad government once and for all

Shame on you

If not for the social media outcry, u guys would have left him there to die.... Little wonder you guys are trying hard to ban social media in Nigeria.

That is good on the part of the caring government, Governor of Lagos State and the image of the country.

This contradict what he stated in this clip

So there was a better one before. Guess the Governor has to invite the whole of APC members, hold Rally, call the media so they can Launch it. Inbtw, f they show us the said better facility now, we will still be amazed. My dear Nigeria. 😖😖

So SaharaReporters and were right after all. Some people here doesn't know what journalism is all about..

Is this the Italian man? Doesn't he have a name? Nigeria government will never cease to amuse me

NaijaFlyingDr I just hope if a Nigerian gets infected with the Virus, he/she will also be treated in a good facility, that this italian was treated in and not in a rundown place.

Stupid people, but why keep him in a dungeon before ?

What is the name of this Man? Is there any reason I should know why they don't want to disclose his name?

So until he attempted to escape b4 u did the needful, È je bì

You lots are not serious and not ready at all

They wanted to treat Corona in a malaria infested area before 🤣🤣🤣

If he hasn't tried to run away nko

Good. Let's see all that money go into quality healthcare.

Better facility? Why put him there in the first place?

Are you serious?

You have better one before abi

Since the coronovirus is corruption as per Ibrahim magu the efcc chairman I think they should transfer all the infected by coronovirus to efcc headquarter in Abuja officialEFCC XHNews PDChina APCNigeria

So the better facility no first come mind, this people self,

Shame on you, we asked , you said you were ready

Fine

So yu have better facility before taking him there before. Shameless people

Please move him far oooooo😫😫
