#COVID-19: 113 Nigerian Health Workers Have Tested Positive – Ehanire Osagie Reveals

The Minister of Health, Ehanire Osagie has disclosed that 113 Nigerian health workers have tested positive for Coronavirus.

The Minister revealed this while responding to questions at the daily Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 briefing on Thursday April 30. Osagie said the infected health workers represent about 6 per cent of the total 1,728 infected persons.

Osagie said;

“Latest figures we have is that there are about 113 people in the health sector infected with COVID-19. Although they are not all public health workers, there are good numbers from private hospitals.

“If you hear us speaking here frequently against trying to treat coronavirus in private clinics, we are actually referring to those people who do so without having necessary precautions and training because they risk infecting themselves and go home and give this infection to their family.

“Healthcare workers who have no training have no business handling coronavirus.”
