The Lagos State government has confirmed the death of two more coronavirus patients.

The Commissioner for Health, Professor Akin Abayomi, disclosed this on Tuesday in a series of tweets.

According to the Commissioner, the fatalities involved a male and a female.

He noted that Lagos, which has been the hardest hit state in the country, recorded no new case on Monday.

One of the new fatalities he said, was a 45-year-old Nigerian man who returned from India in January while the second involved a 36-year-old Nigerian woman who had a severe underlying health condition.

“The patients had no history of travel or contact with any confirmed case of coronavirus”.

He, therefore, urged residents to remain vigilant and report any concern about COVID-19 infection in their various communities to the relevant authorities.
