The Chief Medical doctor, University College Hospital, Ibadan, Prof Jesse A Otegbayo and the Comptroller-General of Immigration, Mr Muhammed Babandede, have personally disclosed that they have tested positive for Coronavirus.
These new Covid-19 victims personally revealed their status to the media adding that they are already in self-isolation.
Otegbayo explained in a statement,“On Monday 23rd March, we commenced a 12 man quarterly board meeting which was meant to last 5 days in the hospital. We observed social distancing and other precautionary measures for COVID-19 as much as possible. However, on Wednesday morning, one of us presented with what appeared to be symptoms of COVID-19, his samples were immediately taken for test and the meeting called off. His results returned positive on Friday morning and every participant (including me) immediately went into self-isolation while our samples were also taken for test. Unfortunately, my result returned positive on Saturday afternoon and I remain in isolation as I am not symptomatic. All staff who have been in contact with me and other participants during this period have been advised to immediately proceed on self-isolation pending the time they get tested”.
He urged everyone to take precaution because the virus is spreading faster than anyone could think.
Speaking about his situation, Babandede stated that he is in a stable condition at the hospital where he is receiving treatment.
