COVID-19: A Medical Team From China Coming To Nigeria Soon - Osagie Ehanire by ProsperChild: 4:50pm On Apr 03, 2020
Coronavirus: We are expecting a medical team from China, says FG

The federal government says a medical team from China will arrive the country in a few days.

Osagie Enahire, minister of health, broke the news at the presidential task force on COVID-19 briefing in Abuja on Friday.

He also said a group of Chinese companies working in Nigeria have donated medical supplies to support the country’s fight against COVID-19.

He said the items include commodities such as personal protective equipment and ventilators.

“I have been notified of medical supplies from China, courtesy of a group of Chinese companies working here in Nigeria. A special cargo aircraft shall leave Nigeria in a few days to collect the items which include commodities, personal protective equipment and ventilators,” he said.

“An 18-man team of Chinese medical experts including doctors, nurses and other medical advisers shall come along with the flight to assist us. I must at this juncture commend our frontline workers who are doing a great job in case identification and management.


“As we prepare to contain COVID-19, we must not lose sight of other health challenges in our country. Routine health service must continue in our hospitals. Only a wing of tertiary health centres should be used for infected patients.”

The minister said nearly 3,000 samples have been tested for the disease, adding that Nigeria will witness an increase in confirmed coronavirus cases despite the lockdown.

Nigeria has recorded 190 confirmed cases out of which Lagos state, which is the epicentre of the disease, has 98 cases.

The federal capital territory (FCT) has 38; Osun, 20, and Oyo, eight cases. Akwa Ibom state has five cases; Ogun and Edo states have four each; Kaduna, four; Bauchi, three.

Enugu and Ekiti states have two cases each while Rivers and Benue states have recorded one each.

In Africa, over 7,000 cases have been recorded with 284 deaths spread across 50 countries.

Globally, the confirmed cases hit one million on Thursday, with at least 51, 300 people dead from complications of the disease.

The infection has spread to 204 countries and territories since the first case was recorded in Wuhan, China, late December.

On March 24, Jack Ma, co-founder of Alibaba, Chinese e-commerce company, donated medical kits for Nigeria to fight coronavirus pandemic.

There we go again! There have been reports on millions of faulty equipment coming from china to other countries; China hiding information about the number of deaths on this issue; online videos on some guy cleaning his feet with face masks; America and China trading words on who caused this coronavirus pandemic and many more... If these are fragments of rumour, then there must be elements of truth in them and if they are true, it should be a pointer to what the government should do! This is the moment we should be forward-looking on how to survive without these countries at least reduce over-dependence. Here is the moment for us to start documenting lessons we have learnt for future references. If we allow these people to come to our country, they will have first information about why the rate of infection is slow in Africa and who knows, if they are the cause, develop another strain of this virus to fight Africa.

Guy you are risking a long time jail. Your name is where I came from Ngwa Abia state. You are from Anambra state trying to cause problem btw other tribes so they can hate us in Abia state. Stop this nonsense and fear God.
We are not a liar and cheater here in Abia state. if Anambra want to kill Chinese that want to help our country let the whole world know. Nigeria benefit massively from China and they always help Nigeria when the need arise.
NgwalandAbia:
They should go to hell, we don't need Chinkos here..after messing the world they want to bring their hanta virus here...Kill any chinco man you see in your state they are all virus. Fucck the government, I thought they initially told Nigerians they can handle this. Why Chinese coming here again.

Thought it was a joke!

This life is an irony.

If China could get mind export fake kits to Spain, then they will directly send the virus.

No wonder the western countries are airlifting their citizens out of Nigeria

Boy, I wrote Ngwa, not central Igbo, if you can't comprehend it and respond that means you are a fake Ngwa man and I'm here to teach you a bitter lesson. Ngwaman kii you there.

If I were the health minister, I won't welcome such an idea... Let's deal with this virus our own way. Getting help these days esp from the Chinese, could be dangerous.
