Ondo State on Friday recorded its first positive coronavirus case as a patient who was in isolation tested positive.
The state governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, who announced this through his twitter handle on Friday night, expressed optimism about the victim’s recovery.
Akeredolu noted that all necessary measures have been taken to locate everyone who has come in contact with the coronavirus patient.
He, however, called for calm and urged citizens to adhere to all preventive measures.
Akeredolu said: “We have just received confirmation of our first positive #COVIDー19 case in Ondo State this evening. The infected person is currently under isolation and will be monitored. We have activated all necessary protocols to locate all contacts and will be working closely with @NCDCgov.
“The infected person is in very stable condition and we ask for calm from all in Ondo State. We are on top of this and ask that our citizens continue to follow all preventive measures to ensure they remain safe.”
