COVID-19: Nigeria High Commission In UK Shut Down

Nigeria’s UK High Commission
The Nigerian Mission in London, United Kingdom, has been closed for 10 days after two officials tested positive for COVID-19.

It was gathered that one of two officers who went to the UK Home Office for a meeting on Thursday tested positive, which prompted the testing of other mission staff resulting in another positive case.

Subsequently, the Mission said it would close down for the next 10 days “in order to observe the mandatory isolation of those who were in contact with the affected officials.”

This was contained in a statement titled, ‘Closure of Nigerian High Commission, London.’

It read, “This afternoon, the Head of Immigration Section and two other officials went for a meeting at the Home Office.

“At the entrance, COVID-19 test was administered on them and one of them tested positive to COVID-19. The affected officer was immediately isolated while the other officials, who tested negative will also isolate for the next 10 days.

“In response to this challenge, the Mission embarked on testing all officials of the Mission, after which another official of the Mission tested positive.”
