ABUJA, Feb 28 (Reuters) - Nigeria's first confirmed

coronovirus case was not detected at airport, and travelled

through Lagos before he took ill and went to a hospital, the

country's health minister said on Friday.

The Italian man, who authorities said arrived in Nigeria

from Milan on the evening of Feb. 24, did not have symptoms when

the plane landed.

Authorities are now working to "meet and observe" all those

who were on the flight with him, and are also identifying all

the people he met and places he visited in Lagos, a city of some

20 million people, before reporting to the hospital.
