The first Coronavirus case has been confirmed in Ondo State days after all the suspected cases tested negative.
The information surfaced on the state’s Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu’ s twitter handle, where he confirmed that the victim is currently under isolation and monitoring.
Also the state Commissioner of Information and Orientation, Donald Ojogor, released a press statement confirming the news of the first Coronavirus case in the state.
“It is with great concern that the Ondo State Government announces the first index case. A suspected case tested positive to the COVID-19 pandemic”.
Ojogor also added in the press statement that all the state residents need to be more vigilant.
“We thank God for His protection thus far. Ours has been a case of anxiety while we enjoyed a COVID-19 free State status. This development has, however, repudiated that enviable status even as we urge all to be vigilant and keep ourselves within the princints of measures put in place.”
Ondo State has now joined the league of states that has confirmed cases of Coronavirus across the country.
It would be recalled that the state residents failed to adhere to the lockdown order of the state governor with major markets opening across the state especially the capital, Akure.
Governor, Akeredolu also ordered three-days fasting and prayer which was surposse to begin today.
