The wife of Benue State Governor, Eunice Ortom, her son and some members of staff, have tested positive for coronavirus.
In a statement signed by the First Lady on Friday, she said tests conducted on her and some staff came out positive, stating that they have gone into isolation and commenced treatment.
She said, “A few moments ago this evening, I received my result from the tests earlier carried out on me by NCDC personnel on routine screening at Government House, Makurdi which returned that I, my son, and some staff are COVID-19 positive.
“We have from this moment, gone into total isolation as required by the protocol and would immediately begin the management treatment as advised by medical experts@.
While stressing that contracting the virus is not a death sentence, she advised everyone who has had contact with her in the past two weeks to undergo screening and get tested.
The First Lady asked residents of the state not to panic but should be responsible for their actions and “to take preventive measures to be protected and be safe by observing the primary protocols”.
