Governor Gboyega Oyetola penultimate week asked all cabinet members to take Covid-19 test to know their status.

This was after two among his aides tested positive for coronavirus.

This was done as  part of the measures and steps taken to manage the second wave of  coronavirus in the state.

That was not all, convoy drivers, domestic staff and aides attached to senior government officials have been asked to follow suit.

The governor has also advised citizens and residents of the state to   take coronavirus test to ensure early detection which will according to him help to avoid tragic outcome that has accompanied this second wave.

Commissioner for Information and Civic Orientation, Mrs. Funke Egbemode  said the government has increased testing capacities across all the local government areas at no cost to the  citizens.

‘Governor Adegboyega Oyetola has shown example by ascertaining his own Covid-19 status, ordering all his cabinet members to take the test as well.

The test results have been received and only two people returned positive. They have since gone into isolation and commenced treatment. We can confirm that they are in a stable condition, and a repeat test will be conducted in a few days to check their progress.

That is why the Governor is encouraging citizens to also take the test to be sure of their status. Early detection is very important during this second wave. The virus is more deadly now than it was during the first wave.

Citizens are hereby advised to take personal responsibility for their safety and the safety of others, and this now includes taking the Covid-19 test so as to commence immediate treatment if such a person tests positive’ she said.

The Governor has also according to her encouraged citizens and residents to ensure they continue to observe Covid-19 protocols at all times.
