Three days after civil servants resumed work in Oyo State, some members of the Oyo State Executive Council have been confirmed Coronavirus positive.
Making the confirmation, Governor Seyi Makinde, on his twitter page said, “Earlier today, we received COVID-19 confirmation tests for all members of the Oyo State Executive Council (EXCO). Sadly, three tests came back positive, and two were inconclusive, so they will need to be retested”.
Makinde stated that the EXCO members have been contacted and contact tracing has begun adding that their offices have been closed and would be decontaminated.
“Let me reiterate that COVID-19 is still very much with us. That we are taking steps to re-open the economy, does not mean that the virus has disappeared. We must each take actions to protect ourselves and our families….Sometimes, even after following all directives, we may still get the virus. When this happens, we need to have our bodies ready to fight this disease”.
