Doctors and nurses at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH), are worried that they may have been exposed to coronavirus.
Their jitters arose after two patients earlier declared negative tested positive.
The leadership of the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD), in a post on WhatsApp expressed concern over the safety of its members who had contact with the patients.
The doctors said one of the patients, who was handled without precautions, died.
Further tests confirmed that the two patients were positive for the virus.
“It has been brought to our notice with great dismay that the earlier results of the two suspected COVID -19 cases previously declared negative have turned out to be positive after further tests.
“Whilst the EXCO cannot fully ascertain at this time what may have led to this, it has become imperative at this point to inform our members on the sudden turn of events.
“We expect management to issue a statement on the way forward, as this cuts across all members of staff that have been involved in management of these Patients.
