    News broke on Feb 27, 2020, that an Italian citizen was Nigeria's first case of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The individual had landed at Lagos airport 2 days earlier on a flight from northern Italy, and had subsequently travelled from Lagos to Ogun State, western Nigeria, where he became ill and was promptly isolated. He is currently being treated for mild symptoms of COVID-19 in a hospital in Lagos. Upon identifying the index case, National Emergency Operations Centres were immediately activated to trace his contacts.

    • Can we contain the COVID-19 outbreak with the same measures as for SARS? Prof Annelies Wilder-Smith, MD Calvin J Chiew, MPH Vernon J Lee, PhD Published:March 05, 2020DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/S1473-3099(20)30129-8 Summary The severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak in 2003 resulted in more than 8000 cases and 800 deaths. SARS was eventually contained by means of syndromic surveillance, prompt isolation of patients, strict enforcement of quarantine of all contacts, and in some areas top-down enforcement of community quarantine. By interrupting all human-to-human transmission, SARS was effectively eradicated.

    • Around 1 AM on Friday 28 January 2020, Nigeria announced sub-Saharan Africa’s first confirmed case of the coronavirus disease COVID-19, and the confirmation led to activation of the country’s National Coronavirus Emergency Operation Centre. Nigeria’s quick mobilization of resources and manpower to combat the Ebola virus disease in 2014, led by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), received praise from the international community and from the World Health Organization (WHO). The outbreak, which caused 15,000 confirmed cases and over 9,000 suspected cases in West Africa, was controlled in just 92 days―a “piece of world-class epidemiological detective work,” the WHO stated at the time.
