Coronavirus is not my portion! God forbid! doctors and nurses say as they run after sighting suspected cases
Reports gathered that doctors and nurses at the General hospital Gbagada have eloped after they suspected four white men who were rushed to the hospital had coronavirus.
It was gathered that the four white men were rushed to the hospital at midnight with coronavirus symptoms.
On sighting them, the Nurses ran away saying ‘this is coronavirus! Coronavirus is not my portion. God forbid! Here is not IDH (Infectious Disease Hospital), Yaba, please go there. Where is security? Security, please come and send these people out of this place.’
A witness said ” “So, when they got to the emergency ward, nurses and doctors on duty came out to attend to them. But upon getting to the vehicle, they noticed that the four occupants were whites with one of them critically ill and coughing uncontrollably. Immediately the nurses and doctors saw them, they all took to their heels.”
“Some of the nurses began to shout ‘this is coronavirus! Coronavirus is not my portion. God forbid! Here is not IDH (Infectious Disease Hospital), Yaba, please go there. Where is security? Security, please come and send these people out of this place. When the screaming became too much, some of the security guards on duty that day summoned courage from afar and ordered them out of the hospital, because they too were afraid and they drove out. They were not allowed to come down from their vehicle” he added.

He also revealed that “Everybody ran because some of the doctors said the symptoms that they saw were clearly that of COVID-19.Their visit truly caused commotion at the hospital.”
Another worker also testified saying “All workers at the hospital have been warned not to attend to foreigners. And anybody whose body temperature is above 40’C is not allowed in.”
The source added, “The situation (presence of the four white men) affected patients on admission as many people withdrew their sick relatives and loved ones after the incident.”
Dr. Adeleke Kaka who is the medical director of the hospital confirmed the incident but denied the fact that the doctors and nurses took to their heels.
He disclosed that it was only one Egyptian suspected to have coronavirus that was brought to the hospital, not four.
Kaka said, “The guy was suspected to have COVID-19 by the doctor that saw him in a private hospital and referred him to the Gbagada General Hospital. He was sent to Mainland Hospital for further evaluation and testing.”
