The Wellington Hospital, which is located in North London, is the largest independent hospital in the UK.
It offers cardiac services, neurosurgery, liver and HBP medicine, rehabilitation, gynecology, orthopedics, and other services, according to Wikipedia.
Mr. Kyari was, in December 2016, flown from Nigeria to London on emergency and attended to at Wellington Hospital.
Panic on Tuesday gripped some governors and ministers as Kyari, and the Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, tested positive for COVID-19.
The panic among the governors and the ministers stemmed from the fact that Kyari after his return from foreign trips a few days ago attended the Federal Executive Council meeting last Wednesday, while Mohammed was at the National Executive Council meeting last Thursday.
After Nigeria recorded the first Coronavirus case on February 27, Mr. Kyari visited Germany and Egypt.
In Germany, he and the Minister of Power, Saleh Mamman, on March 9, met Siemens officials over the power deal signed with the company. (The Punch)
