COVID-19: 60-YEAR-OLD US CITIZEN VISITING LOVER DIES IN DELTA STATE
A 60-year-old US national suspected to have shown symptoms of COVID-19 has died in Delta state.
The State Commissioner for police, Hafiz Inuwa, disclosed this on Monday, May 11.
Inazu said the woman was in Nigeria to visit her male friend. She was lodged at an undisclosed hotel in Warri before she was relocated to another hotel around Orerokpe.
“While they were together for about a week, the woman was coughing and having difficulty in breathing and stooling. So, she was taken to a hospital on Saturday when her condition became worse and eventually died,” Inuwa said.
He added that the male friend is under the custody of the police in Orerokpe.
The attention of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and the State Commissioner for Health has been called to the development.
Inuwa warned policemen to be careful in dealing with the said male friend in order not to get infected with the disease.
According to the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, on Sunday, May 10, Delta has recorded 17 cases of COVID-19.
