That’s the headline of an article in the Nigerian newspaper Business Day from 6 February 2020. It says the outbreak of the strange disease occurred on January 29, 2020, in Oye, Obi Local Government Area of Benue State in southwestern Nigeria. Fifteen people reportedly died from the disease, and about 104 were seriously infected. The Senate is suspecting that the outbreak may be coronavirus epidemic which it said require urgent health measures to identify, the article reads. The article was shared on Facebook and other sites . There have been no confirmed cases of novel coronavirus anywhere in Africa, as of 10 February 2020 . Could the strange disease which hit Benue state be coronavirus? What is novel coronavirus? Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that cause illnesses ranging from the common cold to more serious diseases. An outbreak of a new strain , now named Covid-19 , was identified in Wuhan , China in late December 2019. The World Health Organization says infection with Covid-19 can cause mild symptoms including a runny nose, sore throat, cough, and fever. In some people it can lead to pneumonia or breathing difficulties. In rare cases, the WHO says , coronavirus can be fatal. According to the WHO’s 6 February 2020 update on the outbreak, 28,276 cases of Covid-19 have been confirmed, 28,060 of them in China. There have been 564 deaths in China, and one in the Philippines. Not coronavirus, but cause of deaths in Benue unknown The senate, however, made no mention of coronavirus or Covid-19 while raising an alarm on the outbreak of a strange disease in Benue state. We checked the official page of the national assembly. The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control responded to the rumours from Benue state on 7 February. They said on Twitter that further investigations were ongoing. On 10 February the NCDC also drew attention to its most recent public health advisory on Covid-19. The advisory was last updated on 2 February, and confirmed that there had at the time been no recorded instances of the disease on the African continent. On 11 February, the NCDC said that infective causes including known Viral Haemorrhagic Fevers have been ruled out for the deaths in Benue state. – Motunrayo Joel Baƙuwar cutar da ta ɓulla a jihar Binuwai, ba cutar coronavirus ba ce Ƙwayar cutar coronavirus: Majalisar dokokin Najeriya ta ankarar da yan Najeriya ɓulluwar wata baƙuwar cuta a jihar Binuwai.
