He said 10 others had serious underlying illness.
He explained that the hospital has a centre where patients with suspected cases of COVID-19 are kept, after which “we send for the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) to come and take their (patients’) samples’’.
“And when it is confirmed that they are positive, we take them to our isolation centre,’’ NAN quoted him as saying.
Abuja currently has a total of 3,437 confirmed cases and 41 patients have died from the virus.
