Dr Humphrey Okoroukwu, the Director of Public Health in the Health and Human Services Secretariat in FCT, disclosed this to newsmen on Friday in Abuja.
Okoroukwu explained that the new confirmed case was recorded in Abuja Municipal Area Council and the patient was already recovering.
“The new case was confirmed just last Wednesday and we thank God the patient is doing well in the hospital. The patient reported early and the doctor’s alertness to detect the suspected case before confirmation in the laboratory has helped to manage the situation,” he said.
The director urged residents of FCT not to panic over the development but to rather take their personal and environmental hygiene seriously.
