Nigerian doctor dies of coronavirus in Canada
A Nigerian medical doctor, Olumide Okunuga, has died of coronavirus in Canada.
Okunuga, who lived in Italy, reportedly contracted the disease in the North American nation.
The Minister of State for Health, Olorunnimbe Mamora, who disclosed this at a press briefing in Abuja, said the deceased was a pathologist.
He said: “We must be conscious of not being complacent, the price to pay for complacency is huge. I have heard people say that the black man’s gene is resistant and so COVID-19 is not for us.
“Don’t forget, some black men even from Africa, even from Nigeria have died, unfortunately. We heard the story of one doctor who lived in Italy, a Nigerian, a black man.
“So we should not get carried away. There are a lot of things known about COVID-19 and there are still things unknown. We have to be very careful about believing claims that are yet to be fully validated.”
The minister said calls to reveal the identity of the index case are contrary to the patient confidentiality clause which offers him protection.
