Two nurses and a doctor have reportedly tested positive for Coronavirus at a government hospital in Abuja.

SaharaReporters reported that a senior medical worker at the hospital
who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the infected health workers
were part of medical personnel that attended to an infected person
brought into the hospital.

“The patient was rushed to the hospital and as our job demands, we
have to save life first and that was what we did. The person was
attended to and stabilised by the medical team. A test was soon
conducted and the result came out positive. The hospital thereafter
asked all those who attended to the patient to undergo tests to
determine their status and at the end of the day, two doctors and one
nurse tested positive for the virus. They are currently in isolation at
the Gwagwalada Specialist Hospital.”the source said

The Senior Health worker accused the Federal government of not
providing medical workers with quality Personal Protective Equipment
among other gears needed to protect themselves as they attend to
patients with the infectious disease.

“The unfortunate thing is that the government is not providing us
with what to work with. It is sad that our PPE is not up to the world
standard and can be penetrated by viruses. Some of us (health workers)
have to use our personal funds to purchase gloves as we do not trust the
ones government supplied. Nigerians should please remember us in their
prayers and the government should provide us with what we really need to
work.” the source said
