The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) says there is no evidence of widespread COVID-19 transmission in Cross River state.
The Cross River government had earlier announced that it had recorded a new case of COVID-19 in the state.
Henry Ayuk, the state commissioner for health, said the index case involves a 53-year-old Chinese national working with Lafarge in Akamkpa LGA, who arrived in Nigeria on March 17 and later developed symptoms.
